I have been given the task of creating a generic web site for our customers, and have been
researching and experimenting with many of the layouts listed in the wiki and elsewhere on the web.
The biggest problem I face is that one layout example using 3 columns will not need the same html
markup as a layout with 2 and still have the number of sections I have.
For example, the negative margin 3 column examples put an extra <div> around two columns. Another
example puts an extra <div> around all 3 columns. The problem then occurs when the "menu" div
(which would now be permanently stuck with the content div) needs to be on the same line as the
header. This is a bit confusing, so I'll try to explain with pictures.
Layouts that I would like to support (forgive the geocities link - I have no domain name to upload
to and had to find something free):

TJK design has a wonderful picture showing how to do the 3 column layout they have (notice the
extra div around left/main):

My question to this list is: Is it possible to have one html file, and style these pages this way
with only CSS? If so, are there examples or advice? Preferably I'd like the option for the footer
to stay at the bottom of the viewport or content (whichever is longer) because I'm sure some will
want to. Styles 1-3 are manageable for me, but then trying to get the same html to work in 4 and 5
are where I lose all my hair. :(
Many thanks given in advance. Help is appreciated beyond belief.
