I didn't answer this one before because I didn't understand why 
javascript would be involved, or why it would be hard.  It seems like a 
perfect job for css.
----------
<head><title>...</title>
<style type="text/css">
#col1 {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="col1">Whatever</div>
<div>more stuff</div>
</body>
------------
