Looking for a specific CSS template

[groovyjon]

I'm going to re-design our website and have been looking for a CSS template that satisfies all the following criteria:

- Fixed-width 3 column layout with header and footer
- Middle content div to come first in source code (for SEO)
- Each column to extend down to the footer
- Cross-browser compatibility

I've found various templates that satisfy 2 or 3 of the above, but not all 4! Am I asking for the impossible? I have a working knowledge of CSS but not quite good enough to code from scratch.

just find a site that does it and look at the source code

- Middle content div to come first in source code (for SEO).
Doesn't appear to make any difference. Changed my site as a test and the content is below a LH nav and big bunch of Divs on the right and ranking hasn't changed.

So as long as your chosen template meets 1, 3 and 4 you should be OK.

That's interesting as I'd read several articles saying that it can make quite a difference getting rid of duplicate content at the top of each page. It's no.2 that's holding me up really.

My site has the 3 column layout but as you have said the left and right columns are above the main content in the coding. One thing I've been thinking of is adding the content of the left and right columns via a javascript innerHTML. I've already done it with my manufacturers list which was really long and on every page.

Search engines won't see the contents of the javascript but if the content isn't important it might be worth thinking about.
