[Zope] How to overlay one column of a page

[John Poltorak]

I need some advice on how to format a page and am not sure how to explain 
what I want to do but hope someone will figure out what I want to do...


Basically I have a home page consisting of a standard header and footer, 
and three columns - the left and right ones also being standard, with only 
the middle column having content specific to a given page. 

What I would like to do in the left column is have a set of links to other 
pages on the same website with the content of each of those links 
overlaying the middle column.


There must be a fairly straightforward way of doing this using minimal 
codeing, but I can't figure it out. 

Can anyone give me a pointer to some sample code?

And if it's in the Zope book, can you tell me where?
