CSS is unbelievably unwieldy. All I want to do is have a page with
three columns. The left and right columns should be fixed width and
the central column should adjust its width to fill in the remaining
space. Such a simple concept is, I believe, virtually impossible to
code. If anyone can do it I would be very impressed.

I don't understand it: there are lots of examples with three columns.
Problems arise when you want equal heights of the columns or borders
in between*.
In that case there is a relation between the 3 columns and a table is
appropriate.
* for example the site of
A-OKhttp://a-ok-site.com/webdesign/index.html: looks great, but when
font-size is enlarged the border between column 1 and 2 is broken.

That all depends on how the site is coded.

Do you suggest to use px to prevent the text being enlarged (in IE)??
