You could use css3 flexible box  it would go like this   First your wrapper is wrapping a lot of things so you need a wrapper just for the 2 horizontal floated boxes     lt div id  hor-box  gt        lt div id  left  gt          left        lt  div gt       lt div id  content  gt         content      lt  div gt   lt  div gt    And your css3 should be    hor-box       display  -webkit-box    display  -moz-box    display  box    -moz-box-orient  horizontal   box-orient  horizontal    -webkit-box-orient  horizontal        left           width 200px        background-color antiquewhite        margin-left 10px        -webkit-box-flex  0       -moz-box-flex  0       box-flex  0         content           min-width 700px        margin-left 10px        background-color AppWorkspace        -webkit-box-flex  1       -moz-box-flex  1        box-flex  1
