The illusive fluid-fixed layout has the following properties:
- One column that expands to fill the screen
- A second column that has a fixed width to the right of the expanding column
I rarely remember the CSS syntax to do this, so I’m posting it here both as a reference for myself as well as for anyone else looking for a solution.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Fixed-Fluid Example</title>
<style type="text/css">
body {
color: white;
}
#wrapper {
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
#fluid {
background-color: #336699;
margin-right: 200px;
}
#right-col {
background-color: #bd2115;
width: 200px;
float: right;
margin-left: -100%;
}
.padded-content {
padding: 5px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="fluid">
<div class="padded-content">Fluid</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="right-col">
<div class="padded-content">Fixed at 200px</div>
</div>
</body>
