Ok, so I tried to follow the basic guidlines of the tutorial and implement them into my complex table. however, I seem to be running into some issues;

1. When I set the expaniding sections to 100%, they take up the entire header adn my main image is gone
2. If I change the % width to somethign like 20%, they expand and contract as they should BUT, when the screen res lessens the two expandable areas only shrink down a little bit and then the main image acts like it has two columns and they begin to shrink.

What did I do wrong?
Here is the code I used;
