If you want a 3-column layout with all 3 columns fixed, then give each
column a width and float them. If you just want to prevent the layout
from squishing at small window widths, you could use the min-width
property (along with an easy workaround for IE, which does not support
the property). Here are some layout examples you can investigate:
