I'm trying to make a layout where the banner, the navigation and footer always stay fixed while you can scroll the content. I have seen some kinda similar layouts here but the actual page content is not limited there. What I want now is to center anything, but you better you maybe need something visual - what I got so far:
html
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="banner"></div>
<div id="main">
<div id="nav1"></div>
<div id="nav2"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
css
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: #222;
}
#container {
margin: 0 auto;
height: 100%;
width: 800px;
margin-top: 20px;
background-color: black;
}
#banner {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
}
#main {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
#nav1 {
height: 100%;
width: 150px;
float: left;
background-color: yellow;
}
#nav2 {
height: 100%;
width: 100px;
float: right;
background-color: yellow;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: white;
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: lime;
}

When scrolling I want only the content in the white area to move, also I cant figure out how to disable overflow without breaking that layout. Maybe you have an idea? Thank you.
Here is one way of doing it that relies on absolute positioning.
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: #222;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
width: 800px;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -400px;
background-color: black;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 0;
}
#banner {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
background-color: red;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
#main {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
bottom: 30px;
}
#nav1 {
width: 150px;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: yellow;
border: 2px dotted blue;
}
#nav2 {
width: 100px;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: yellow;
border: 2px dotted blue;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0px;
left: 150px;
right: 100px;
background-color: tan;
border: 2px dotted blue;
overflow: auto;
}
#footer {
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 30px;
background-color: lime;
}

If you shrink the height, you will see a scroll bar appear around the content area, which may do the trick. The rest of the page elements are static regardless of the amount of content in the main area.
