Well actually with css and a good (x)html DOM you can do that...
<div class="container">
<div class="stuff">
MY STUFF
</div>
</div>
IIRC:
div.container { margin-left: 100px }
I think you mean margin-right (to leave space on the right)
It works for the width, but now you cant place anything to the right of it
because of the margin... unless maybe you position it absolutely...lemme
see... aah yes, you can 'float: right' it, and that has the added bonus that
it'll shrink-wrap it to the right size.... so, like this:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.left
{
margin-right: 100px;
background: grey;
}
.stuff
{
width: 100%;
background: blue;
}
.right
{
float: right;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="right">
RIGHTTTTT
</div>
<div class="left">
<div class="stuff">
LEFT<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
</div>
</div>
</body>
div.stuff {width: 100%}
