Problem with a div layout

    I'm trying to create a fairly easy layout, making use of DIVs. The following structure is what I'm trying to accomplish:

    And here's what I currently have:

    However, I'm not really convinced that this is the right solution. I am unable to scroll in the content div (IE7) for one, which is quite a problem. I'm hoping to make this look the same for most browsers. Does anyone have a better layout that achieves this or any pointers on what I'm doing wrong?

    I checked and the content DIV text is having a scrollbar on right and is scrolling in both IE7 and FF3 :)

    Internet Explorer 6 failed to render the area scrollable.

    Seeing as how IE6 fails to scroll it and for some reason my IE7 DOES scroll it at the moment I'm still unsure about how I implemented the design. I would love to see it work in IE6 as well so if anyone could help me on getting it there it would be greatly appreciated.

    Well yes IE6 scrolling is not working, actually IE6 doesn't support many things IE7 and FF support like some CSS properties, PNG transparency, etc. If you want your layout and design to work well in all the major browsers then you must use only those CSS properties which are supported by them :)
