Not sure if I got the problem, but perhaps something like that - uses
position instead of float to avoid problems with too wide table
(untested just to give you an idea) assuming a solid background-color
for the menu column.
<div id="container">
<div id="menu"></div>
<table></table>
</div>
</div>
#container {position: relative; border-left: yellow solid 20em;
background-image: ...}
#menu {width: 18em; position: absolute; left: 1em; top: 0;}
anything else you didn't mention? ;-)
