Thanks for the reply. Managed to do what I had to do.

As Megan says: HTML

As Megan says:

HTML
`<div id="main">  </div> <div id="sidebar">  </div>`

CSS

`#main { float: left; width: 80%; } #sidebar { overflow: hidden; zoom: 1; }`

Important: No padding on #main - put a DIV inside for that. No width on #sidebar - this code makes it fill the remaining 20%, so padding is okay.

No, no, you can just use

No, no, you can just use percentages in the widths of your div's instead of pixel widths. just be careful about adding margins or paddings to those div's in pixels - it will mess up the widths. You could even try doing margins and paddings as percentages.

You could consider putting a max-width in pixels on the containing div, if you want to prevent the layout from becoming too stretched out on large monitors.
