I would like to build a fluid layout and would like to achieve something like
width:100%-200px;
i.e. have a div with content, call it div id="content"
with a fixed margin on either side. I have tried to use the trick of putting the div id="content"
into another div container with a margin, but I don't know how to fill out the background of div id="content"
. Is there a way of telling the div id="content"
to use 100% of the available space as background, such that the width of the content plus the width of the margin does not exceed 100% of the browser window size?
