Hi all
Another alternative is to create a table (100% X 100%), with 2 cells,
with the left cell having a set pixel width, and allowing cell(2) move with
Browser size.
then BGcolor each cell separately, Plus some tweaking
This is how MS FrontPage would do it using themes with diferent colors for
borders


I've attached a snample which I did by hand
it needed text to space itself on screen

Much faster than an image
