Basically, use percents as your element dimensions, and if everything
adds up to a little less than 100% horizontally (various bugs and
rounding errors prevent you from accomplishing 100% exactly), you will
permanently banish the scroll! This is called fluid layout. If you
look at the Wiki's list of 3-column layouts [1], you will notice that
there is a column that states whether each design is fluid or not.
Check out some of these fluid examples for ideas of what you can do and
how to do it.
