Experiments to test the limit of CSS
Test1:
- hello.html
- style.css
Test 2:
- home.html
- test.css
Trying to replicate the adjustable width of Test 1 in Test 2. Findings: CSS doesn't mix fixed and flexible widths. It doesn't calculate what the remaining amount of space is inside a div. It takes it
What we are trying to do is simply not accomplishable using plain-vanilla CSS. The proof is here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/category/C10/
There are no fixed, fluid fluid views Only, fixed, fluid, fixed & fixed, fixed, fluid
But you can use calc() which is supported by some browsers.
