Stacking sections with CSS
I know this is particularly difficult with CSS and the current set of browsers, but I have a requirement nonetheless.
I need to have 3 divs in a column. Each div should be able to occupy a certain percentage of the vertical space (e.g. 33%). The content of each div can be larger than the available space, so the div must be able to overflow and give custom scrollbars.
My problem is I am having a hard time figuring out how to give each panel a vertical height. Any ideas?

I may have missed something, but gave:
<div id="column">
<div id="a" class="cell">A</div>
<div id="b" class="cell">B</div>
<div id="c" class="cell">C</div>
</div>
What happened with:
#column
{
height: 100%;
width: 20%;
}
#column .cell
{
height: 31%;
margin: 1%;
background-color: green;
overflow: auto;
}

Below is how to work correctly with IE7, Firefox 3 and Google Chrome, now I have fixed the error in CSS:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#one {height: 33%; overflow: auto;}
#two {height: 33%; overflow: auto;}
#three {height: 33%; overflow: auto;}
</style>
</head>
<body>

I will not directly answer your question, but I hope you do not demean me for this!
The largest structure I've seen here that takes div stacking seriously is the big one http://960.gs
It allows you to set fixed sizes for divs and divs that will not fit your layout below. The methods in css there, including Meyer Reset.css, are excellent.
This guaranteed learning for everyone, even if you just stole the css and didn't use the grid.
