I pondered on it a little more and came up with a little cleaned up version:

http://ixolite.info/csstest/layout-test4.html

I did have a bit of a brain-fart. After shuffling the div’s positions a bit I was able to get it working as you said deeve007. Can’t really tell what led me to the point of breaking that simple arrangement – too many changes along the way. Guess tunnel vision struck me there.

In any case – I still don’t see a way of achieving this without setting width for the content divs and I don’t see a way of setting it without the use of calc(), which is less then desirable since I have to do a .js fallback where calc() is not supported).

So my question still stands – is there any better way to do that?
