In this case the columns must not be absolutely positioned, as then they
would 'take up no space', and you hence you couldn't put something underneath
them. You need a combination of static and floating columns, with the lower
nav in a div with 'clear'. eg. with two floats:
<div class="nav" id="topnav">...</div>
<div id="tree">...</div>
<div id="content">...</div>
<div class="nav" id="botnav">...</div>
#tree { float: left; width: 30%; }
#content { float: left; width: 70%; margin-right: -1px; }
#botnav { clear: left; }
(The -1px right margin is to work around rounding errors in IE when multiple
%-width floats are used.)
