Border Layout with 2 Fluid Panels

[Jeff]

I'm looking for a way to create a full-page border layout but with the
following customizations:

West panel with a fixed width, and then having the Center and East
panels each taking up 50% of the remaining space, but both of them
being fluid.

Is that possible within this framework? Everything else is so close
to what i'm looking for.

Thanks
Jeff

Hi,

First of all, sorry for the late response. This group is moderated for

large amount of spam, and I didn't notice it until now.

To answer your question: yes, but not with a border layout. The border
layout is designed to have the center component take up the remaining
space, with the side components having priority. You can however
achieve the desired result with a flexGrid layout where you set the
center and east component to 50% in CSS and the min-width and max-
width of the west component to some fixed value.

If that doesn't solve your problem it should also be fairly
straightforward to implement a layout manager of your own. The jQuery
jLayout plugin takes care of most of the (harder) things related to
margins, paddings, etc. so the layout manager only concerns itself
with the actual layout.

Let me know if you need any further help.
