yes you are right, sorry for not checking it out thoroughly.
you may try this:
#left{
float:left;
width:24%;
}
#right{ position:absolute;
top:12px;
left:25%;
}
* html #right{ /* IE hack */
width:76%;
}
This seems to work in Firefox and IE6.
But if you got a long non-wrapping text line, for instance if you got
typewriter font by leaving a space at the beginning of a line, then
the window will stretch right off-screen. The same scenario with
#right {float:right} will drop the whole right side underneath the
left in IE. So I think the above is still a better way. But I had to
give the right a width value for IE, I adjusted the IE hack so IE6 can
see it.
Best,
