Hi,

I require a 2-column template where the left column will be 150px wide and the 
right column will be of variable width, likely extending past the edge of the 
page horizontally.

The markup looks like this:

<div id="container">
        <div id="nav">
                ...my nav menu ...
        </div>
        <div id="main">
                <table width="1500px">
                        ...
                </table>
        </div>
</div>

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

We will not know the width of the oversized wide elements in the main column, 
they will vary for maps, large tables, and images. Since I have a footer, 
positioning absolutely is a no go because both the nav and main columns could 
affect the footer's placement.

I was thinking of using floats and negative margins, but the main column keeps 
getting pushed down below the nav menu. Anyone have any ideas?

Regards,

Chris
