[thelist] Need some CSS help

I'm just trying to get CSS to do what I would normally find quite easy with
tables, and having no luck whatsoever.

Basically, I want to have a fixed width DIV on the left, then a fluid DIV to
the right, so that as the window is reduced, only the right DIV gets
smaller.

With tables, I would

<table width=100%>
<tr><td width=180>blah blah</td>
<td>bah blah blah blah blah</td>
</tr></table>

but a CSS version is causing me to cry.  I can set up the left DIV with a
width of 180px, and float right the other DIV, but I can't get it to use up
whatever remaining screen estate there is.  Shurely shome mishtake?
