    background:#FFFFFF;/* background colour of right column */
    margin-left:200px;/*this is the space for the left column */

I got that from a site on CSS layout's a while back... I don't remember the author, but I bet it was Paul O'Brien. If it was you Paul, thanks, otherwise, thanks to the original author...

I think I covered it all there.
