Title: Two columns, one fluid one fixed?
Hey Guys
Got a simple one, but can't seem to get my head round it
I'm after a 2 column setup, one fixed width and the other fluid. I can get the following code to work in IE 5, 5.5 and 6, but not in Safari, Mac IE 5.2 and Firefox...

I'm pretty sure it's something simple, but it's the end of the day and I
can't spot it! Any ideas? I need to keep
Sorry for the double post, merely a quick clarification :)
There's a much better term for it in the spec, but alas I'm
not in the mood for spec. trawling at the moment
The proper explaination is that floated elements without an intrinsic
width[1] must have one declared in CSS.
For a
yup, the only way to have something floated and still have it be fluid
is to specify a % width. but then the other column can't be fixed
width. so. can't be done. (i'll gladly welcome being
corrected)
why do you have to keep the float on there?
