Looking for a layout with specific positioning and fixed widths:
One box on the left, one box on the right, each with a width of 200px. The middle div should adjust to take up the remaining space.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you!

Using margin: 0 auto; will help center your element in most cases. Just remember, your element needs a defined width for it to work.
The CSS rule margin: 0 auto; is a shortcut for setting 0 margin on the top and bottom, and automatically calculating left and right margins. This combination aligns the element in the middle of its container.
While margin: 0 auto; may not be perfect for every centering scenario, it is effective in many situations.

<div class="leftsidebar">a</div>

float:left; }
.rightsidebar

If you're looking to experiment with a simple layout using just HTML and CSS, check out this FIDDLE
<div class="container">
<div class="c1"></div>
<div class="c2"></div>
<div class="c3"></div>
</div>
CSS
div {
height:500px;
position:absolute;
border:0px;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
.c1, .c3 {
width: 200px;
background-color:red;
}
.c1, {
left:0px;
}
.c3 {
right:0px;
}
.c2 {
margin-left:10px;
margin-right:10px;
background-color:blue;
left:200px;
right:200px;
}
.container {
width:99%;
}

To ensure proper width adjustment, consider using a table instead of the float style. Float style may not adjust the element's width as needed to fill in the gap.
Here is the HTML code:
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:10%;"><div id="d1"></div></td>
<td><div id="d2"></div></td>
<td style="width:10%;"><div id="d3"></div></td>
</tr>
</table>
CSS code:
#d1,#d3{
background-color:red;
width:100%;
height:300px;
}
#d2{
background-color:blue;
width:100%;
height:300px;
}
table{
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
Update:
If you prefer not to use tables or complicated JavaScript calculations, you can try this CSS approach:
#d1,#d3{
float:left;
background-color:red;
width:10%;
height:300px;
}
#d2{
float:left;
background-color:blue;
width:80%;
height:300px;
}
I would recommend avoiding the use of JavaScript and instead utilizing CSS to achieve this layout. You can create a #wrapper container and specify the desired width, then use percentages for the left, right, and middle divs.
Here is an example of CSS:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left-column"> </div>
<div id="middle-column"> <p>Content will dynamically stretch here</p></div>
<div id="right-column"> </div>
</div>
#wrapper{
float:left;
width:1000px;
*background-color:blue;
}
#left-column, #middle-column, #right-column{
height:500px;
float:left;
}
#left-column, #right-column {
width:20%;
background-color:red;
}
#middle-column {
background-color:green;
width:60%;
}
Sorry for being fashionably late, but I'm finally here!
All you need is some flexbox magic to make this happen.
Code Snippet in HTML:
<div class="flex">
<div class="fixed-div"></div>
<div class="dynamic-div"></div>
<div class="fixed-div"></div>
</div>
CSS Styles:
.flex {
display:flex;
}
.fixed-div {
width:30px;
background-color:blue;
height:200px;
}
.dynamic-div {
width:100%;
background-color:red;
height:200px;
margin: 0px 10px;
}
Feel free to see the code in action here.
