I am trying to get a layout that always takes up the entire screen, no more, no less. The layout has a header row, a 200px wide left bar (scrollable), and a scrollable content area.
This works in Chrome and IE, but in Firefox the scroll bars never show nor work. Any thoughts?

hi
</html>
I would have preferred to use CSS, but could not find any way to do it.
The hi should no show, it is simply there to verify it does not.
Thank you!
