2 Column Layout, width: Left Fixed, Right/Content Fluid question

Does anyone happen to know if it is possible to create a layout that will allow me to have a fixed width left column and fluid right/content column?

The really tricky thing, is that I'm in a CMS. I cannot add inner/outer divs to contain the modules. I have to work with what I have, which is a LeftColumn ContentColumn. I've looked around online, but I could only find solutions that I wouldn't be able to implement because of being inside the CMS. I'm sure I'm not doing a good job at explaining this, so if anyone needs some clarification, just let me know!

I've actually came up with a couple of partial solutions myself, but the problem that I keep running into is that it'll either work on Firefox or IE, not both. I came up with one solution that would work on both, but not on IE 6. The three major browsers of our customers are Firefox 2.0+, IE 6.0+ and Safari 525+.

Did I mention that IE sux! Why they haven't started to become CSS compliant until recently is beyond my comprehension...

 

Sorry I don't mean to bump this thread. I just forgot to include some of my HTML to get an idea of what I have to work with:

<table width='100%' class="Layout" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tr>
		<td>
			<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 width="100%">

				
                <tr>
                    <td class="LayoutTop"><div style='clear:both;width:;' id='LayoutControlContainer120'><table width="100%" border="1"><tr><td>This is a test of the header</td></tr></table>
</div>
</td>
				</tr>
				<tr id="trHorizontalNav">
					<td></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>

					<td valign="top" align=center>
						<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="LayoutMiddle">

<table width="100%" bgcolor="#eeeeee" style="padding:5px; border:solid 1px #CCCCFF">

   </tr>

									</div>
									<div class="LayoutMiddleBottom"></div>

								</td>
								
							</tr>
					
						</table>
					</td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
					<td>
					    
<div class="LayoutBottom"><table width="100%" border="1"><tr><td>This is a test of the footer</td></tr></table></div>

				</tr>
			</table>
		</td>
	</tr>
</table>

HTML:

I had to dig this out of my full HTML page, so if you think I'm missing something, just let me know. Sorry, but the CSS file itself is a little "inaccessible", because of it being within a CMS and the fact that these pages aren't live.
