3 and 2 column full screen (width & height) layouts (CSS)

Question

I was wondering if there were any simple examples that did the following

    * A right and a left fixed column with a fluid center. 
      With full height and width and a header and footer.
    * A single left fixed column with a fluid content column 2. 
      With full height and width and a header and footer.
    * A single right fixed column with a fluid content column.
      With Full height and width and a header and footer.

I've tried some methods (such as the ones listed on listapart) but they seemed really complicated and they used a lot of divs, or they just didn't support padding.

Thanks in advance
