<p>Creating a fluid layout with YUI Grids requires some custom sizing to achieve the fluid effect.</p>
</div>

</div>
<p>A fluid grid starts with the basic markup structure of a <code>yui3-g</code> grid and some <code>yui3-u</code> units.
<h3>Basic Markup Structure</h3>
<pre class="code prettyprint"><div class="yui3-g">
<div class="yui3-u"></div>
<div class="yui3-u"></div>
<div class="yui3-u"></div>
</div></pre>
<p>Creating a fluid layout requires manually fixing the sizes and using a combination of <code>padding</code> and negative margins, so we can stick with the basic <code>yui3-u</code> unit. Rather than extending the <code>yui3-u</code> unit directly, we will add some unique <code>ID</code>s to our "columns" to deliver the sizing. The actual <code>ID</code>s are entirely up to you, but by convention should describe your content rather than its presentation or layout. We will apply an ID to the <code>yui3-g</code> container as well, as this is where the padding will be added to create space for the side columns.</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint"><div class="yui3-g" id="layout">
<div class="yui3-u" id="nav"></div>
<div class="yui3-u" id="main"></div>
<div class="yui3-u" id="extra"></div>
</div></pre>
<p>We also need to add our custom CSS for the fluid layout. The container for the units is padded to match the widths of each side column, each side column gets a fixed width and a negative margin that matches the fixed width. The center column is set to 100% width, filling the container minus its padding.</p>
<pre class="code prettyprint"><style>
#layout {
padding-left:300px; /* "left col" width */
padding-right:150px; /* "right col" width */
}
#nav {
margin-left:-300px; /* "left col" width */
width:300px;
}
#extra {
width:150px;
margin-right:-150px; /* "right col" width */
}
#main {
width:100%;
}
</style></pre>
