These CSS declarations mean nothing without the HTML. Correctly nested,
they might work, but it is impossible to know without understanding the
layout you are trying to achieve. You mention 3 cols, left, nav,
content. What is wrap, and why 25%. Content is 75% of width in relation
to what? ... the entire viewport, or part of whatever it is inside of?
