Here's a Fun One

I have five boxes on a page. I need for the height to be no larger than one
screen (it's for a kiosk). Here's the general layout:

http://www.holotech.net/layout.gif

The content of box 1 is static. Box 2 can expand, and should shrink boxes 3
and 4 accordingly. Box 5 can expand, and should shrink box 4 accordingly. I
can use overflow: hidden, and JavaScript is OK.

Any ideas?

If you dont mind "Mozilla Specific" solutions (that may take less work
to find a solution for Safari, or even be exactly ok) I dont mind
[though I am not in any sense of the word an important person here, so
my opinion on this does not matter], but there are many other venue's
for CSS descussion than here, css-discuss sounds familiar...

The mailing list + wiki...

You may find a solution at their wiki (though it is generally meant as
cross-platform, that is the wiki):
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/

I dont have a subscribe link for their mailing list at hand.
