CSS Discuss has some nice examples you can take a look at, some of them
fluid as you need to.

Personally I don't like floated layouts too much, mostly because IE has
loads of issues with them and secondly as you may need floating for the
content part later on and then some clearing can mess up the whole layout.
A more feasible approach is to position the right and left columns
absolutely and give the content one in the middle margins as wide as the
others. This way you can still retain a fixed size for the outer
columns but allow the centre one to expand and collapse.
