Ahh, but I *always* leave the URL in question in the thread, because its 
always relevant to a reply.  I wasn't the one who cut it out of this 
thread. :-)

But anyway, yes, as I suspected, a width of 99.9% on the main area would 
be no better than 100% in terms of preventing a horizontal scrollbar.  A 
negative margin method would need to be used to float both columns; or, 
avoid the float and use another "new block formatting context" method 
entirely.  It appears the latter has been done.
