Scott: Maintaining relative size of the two columns will be probably best solved using faux columns, as Laakso suggested. Considering that your post discussed zooming, let me take this opportunity to provide my $0.02. If you are not willing to allow the layout (including images) to expand during zoom, then it's going to be difficult to create something that will look good throughout all zooms. As such, you might consider doing everything (including graphics) in em's. Here's a couple of examples: http://php1.net/b/zoom/ http://webbytedd.com/clients/beckyscan/index.php In any event, it's obvious that holding a page to a static width can produce problematic layouts during zooms -- as prompted your post.
