最典型实用的上中下，并且中间分三列的布局，这个例子有2个特点：
1. 中间三列效果，可以任意实现单列背景色。
2. 整体最窄770px，最宽1024px，也就是说窗口小于770xp就出底部滚动条，如果大于1024px自动屏幕居中。
IE6.0和FF1.5测试通过
分析：
最外层的wrapper把所有内容都嵌套在里边，整体相对定位。max min已经很好的控制了最窄最宽值，但对IE没有作用。如果没有其他布局的穿插，这一层其实写在body内就可以，少一层嵌套。
#wrapper width:auto; border:1px solid #000; min-width:770px; max-width:1024px; text-align:left; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto; position:relative;
wrapper 下级的 outer header footer
其中header绝对定位，footer 相对定位；outer分别对左右有130px的外边距，这是兼容非IE的关键。
#outer margin-left:130px; margin-right:130px; background:silver; border-left:1px solid #000; border-right:1px solid #000; color: #000;
#header position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:70px; line-height:70px; border-bottom:1px solid #000; overflow:hidden; background:#0ff; text-align:center; font-size:xx-large
#footer width:100%; clear:both; line-height:50px; border-top:1px solid #000; background:#ffc; color:#000; text-align:center; position:relative;
outer 下级的 clearheader outerwrap right clearer
clearheader 用做填补header的空白，clearer 是一个常用的填充hack用法。
outerwrap 宽为什么是99%，而不是100%？因为他的上层outer有边框，100%宽再加2个边框象素就会撑大，FF有明显效果。
right 的处理很经典，IE下解析为定位，FF下则为浮动。负边距的处理也刚好使用上outer留出的空白。
#clearheader height:72px;
.outerwrap float:left; width:99%;
#right
position:relative;
width:130px; float:right; left:1px;
margin-right:-129px;
* html #right margin-right:-130px; margin-left:-3px
.clearer height:1px; overflow:hidden; margin-top:-1px; clear:both;
outerwrap 内的 centrecontent left clearer 就很简单了，思路类似上边说明。
<!--[if gte IE 5]> 指定IE5.0及版本以上浏览器有效
使用expression方法实现对IE5.0及以上版本的宽度条件控制。
body width:expression( documentElement.clientWidth < 770 ? (documentElement.clientWidth == 0 ? (body.clientWidth < 770 ? "770" : "auto") : "770px") : "auto" );
#wrapper width:expression( documentElement.clientWidth > 1024 ? (documentElement.clientWidth == 0 ? (body.clientWidth >1024 ? "1024" : "auto") : "1024px") : "auto" );
开始只想搞清楚老外是如何实现居中min max的，没想到最后是expression，太失望了，其实这里使用脚本控制更好。另外，老外原文的 Min width of 800px 是错的，CSS定义就是770px，后来截屏确认也是770px。
总的来说这是一个很复杂的布局例子，融合了很多经典用法和定义，同时很传统和实用。类似的复杂布局，四层嵌套实现对于传统布局来说还是比较有优势的。
