grid width help:

I'm working on setting up my CMS page a bit better and I need the right column/sidebar to be ~366px wide. I then want the main section to take the rest of the available space... How do I do this?

I've made a 2 column grid that I've flattened and set the right column to be 366px which works, but it's not aligned to the right?

here's what it looks like:

here's the code:
HTML Code:

HTML Code:

    <div id="doc3">

        <div id="bd">

            <div class="yui-g">

                <div class="yui-tvb-l60 first yui-panel">

                    <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column1">$column[1]</ul>

                </div>

                <div class="yui-tvb-r40 yui-panel">

                    <ul class="list_no_decoration" id="widgetlist_column2"style="width:366px">$column[2]</ul>

                </div>

            </div>

        </div>

    </div>

I've also flattened a 1 column grid with a right sidebar and forced 366px for the sidebar's width, but that puts the sidebar UNDER the main content:

and here's the code for that:
HTML Code:

HTML Code:

    <div id="doc3" class="yui-tvb-r4">

        <div id="bd">

            <div id="yui-main">

                <div class="yui-b">

                    <div class="yui-u yui-panel">

                        <ul class="list_no_decoration widget_list" id="widgetlist_column1" >$column[1]</ul>

                    </div>

                </div>

            </div>

            <div class="yui-b yui-sidebar"style="width:366px">

                <ul class="list_no_decoration widget_list" id="widgetlist_column2">$column[2]</ul>

            </div>

        </div>

    </div>

I've left the grid using the 300px wide sidebar for now because it's the neatest solution, but I NEED to sort out the 366 width. You can see it with the 300px sidebar here:

the issue is the google ads, facebook widget and flickr widget all need more than the 300px the default sidebar gives me... I need to be able to set that width...

so what's the better way to solve the problem? Fixing the 2 column layout or setting the wifth of a sidebar?

Thanks,
Ben
