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 }

yes, maybe without the hard breaks <br /> but using margin-bottom :D
or just using a floater element, without the need for a margin-right
Problem is, you can't just float the right hand panel, because then the left
hand panel will go BEHIND it hehe, it's okay with the margin there (we'll
need to give the left hand pane a specified height anyway, because it's
always the same height no matter how much content is in it (i only used the
<br />s cause i forgot to give it a height :P)
The main problem with chat window in html is the height of all the
individual things - I think that will need to be scripted, especially as we
want the input text box resizeable.... But it's not a problem, we can use
tcl :)
