If your css seems a bit off, have a closer look at mine:

#wrapper{
background-color: #FF0000;
max-width:600px;
min-width:400px;
width: 90%;
}
#col-left{
background-color: #00FF00;
float: left;
width:20%;
}
#col-right{
background-color: #0000FF;
float: left;
width:80%;
}

Your web page should function like this now.
