No problem with fitting a display and making the footer stay in
position, but no vertical scrolling? Not much room for content then, is

Alternative to frames, using 'position: fixed', is explained here:

...and even IE/win is in line.

Example that is fixed, flexible within min- and max-width, and centering
- and with scrolling content:

...still in its debugging-phase, but quite cross-browser stable.
Debugging-notes follows down the page.
