I'd have a header div, a nav div, a content div, and a footer div.
all relatively positioned with the exception of the nav div which is fixed
position over the content div (using z-index) and content in the content
div is padded left to allow space for the nav div.
like this here:
http://www.torbytes.co.uk
so that unstyled pages (e.g. NN4) come up in a sensible order) e.g. I
wanted the nav to appear before the content.
the only problem I've had with the layout on torbytes is on short pages
the footer div rides up the page, I used a single pixel gif to maintain a
minimum height for content.
Alternatively there are many, many layouts to choose from here:
