CSS - Elastic layout, 1 fluid + 1 fixed column, center aligned

This CSS challenge is really puzzling me. Here's what I'm trying to do ...

have an elastic layout (i.e. the container is max-width: 1200px min-width: 960px)
have the container be center aligned.
where the left column is fluid and expands to the highest possible width in the elastic constraints.
and the right column is fixed to say 200px

Can anybody enlighten me?

Solution

The main part is keeping the left column stay fluid while the right is not.

The left column should have a wrapper, that wrapper should have a margin-right of 200px; The left column should be 100% width;

The right column should float right, have absolute positioning and have 200px of width.
