A Simple Three Column Layout
Step x - bold text here... In this example, we are going to use absolute positioning to create a three column layout, which is also a very common page layout you will see on the web. This format enables you to follow the widely-adopted convention of placing navigation in a vertical "stack" on the left side, and use the right side for things like testimonials, promotions, ads or other links.
In this design, we'll fix the width of the side columns and let the content column fill the rest of the browser's width.
