yui-css grid: how to get a 1/4 - 2/4 - 1/4 grid set up?

I have been trying to get yui-css grid system to make a three column grid, where the first on (left) uses 1/4 of the space, the second (middle) uses 2/4 of the space and the third (right) uses 1/4 of the space.

Something like this:

|            header             |
-------- ------------------------    
| left  |     middle    | right |
--------------------------------
|            footer             |

Any input will be much appreciated.

UPDATE: Judging from the answers/comments, I realize some more info is needed.

Using general CSS/(X)HTML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

<head>
    <title></title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylesheet.css" />

    <style type="text/css" media="all">
#wrapper {width: 100%; position: relative; }

#header {width: 100%;text-align: center; }

#left-col {width: 24%;  display: inline-block;}

#main-col {width: 48%; margin: 0 1%;  display: inline-block;}

#right-col {width: 24%;  display: inline-block;}

#footer {width: 100%; clear: both; text-align: center; }
    </style>

</head>

<body>

<div id="wrapper">

    <div id="header">
    <h1>...header-content...</h1>
    </div>

    <div id="left-col">
    ...left-col content...
    </div>

    <div id="main-col">
    ...main-col content...
    </div>

    <div id="right-col">
    ...right-col content...
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
    ...footer content...
    </div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

<div id="wrapper">

    <div id="header">
    ...content...
    </div>

    <div id="left-col">
    ...content...
    </div>

    <div id="main-col">
    ...content...
    </div>

    <div id="right-col">
    ...content...
    </div>

</div>

This works, but it isn't particularly pretty, and you're still left to deal with the column heights and locations yourself.

I've used yui's grid for fixed formats, but for resizable liquid layouts I prefer this solution. It sounds like you want to use percentages rather than a set number of pixels. Is there a reason you're using yui grid for this?
