How to make 3-Column layout with fluid center (fully utilize space), and variable-length on sidebars

Question

How to make 3-Column layout with fluid center (fully utilize space), and variable-length on sidebars?

The width of sidebars are depends on the length of sentence, so there is no fixed width.

The center column will occupy the rest of free space.

It can be done easily by using "table" tag. I am not sure how to do it in css.

Thanks.

Are the sidebars going to always be the same size? Or do you want only one to conform to the body's width? — Chad, Jul 19 '12 at 22:41
