Menu
Okay so I have been working on implementing the 'holy grail'-style layout for my website, so far it's pretty close but I noticed two things I want to fix.
The goal is a 'sticky' footer with the page length expands with the browser window height, a header, and 3 columns. 2 fixed columns on the left and right side, and a fluid column in the middle.
The issues I am having are that right now, my center 'fluid' column doesn't seem to be acting like I expected. Basically I want the fixed columns to always be fully shown, with the center column filling the remaining horizontal space. But the center column is taking up a lot of room and making it so that I have to scroll to view the right column (see image below). Also, the 'text-align: center' code doesn't appear to be centering text within the viewable area of the center column. Any help appreciated!

No need to float. Just position: absolute the sidebars and give the center div fixed margin on both sides.
