Did you try the z-Index attribute? I should probably expand on that a little...
z-Index will tell CSS who is on top of what so you want to make sure the left side is more important in terms of the z-index so the words will appear over it. The only problem with floating divs is the different resolutions people uses will complain about the placement of it. There are still people using 640x400 and they would be irate having a BN box on the right taking up half their screen.
I guess I don't see how using two columns set at a definite width would allow for the problem we are having right now.

Well, I don't know what I'm doing either. :-P I'll play around with a fixed width DIV. I also discovered a CSS attribute to affect overflow, I am hopeful.
Thanks for the tip on z-Index, I knew of its existence but didn't realize it could be useful in this situation. Blah.
BTW, WebTV is 544x372, even though there are about 5 people here that use WebTV, they're all very vocal :-). I gave 'em a way to turn off the sidebar, I don't know if they use it, but I plan to promote the function to just above the sidebar of every page. WebTV doesn't understand my floating DIV, so they'd need to turn it off right away. Uhg.

I guess there is no way that people with webtv(me) can use the pager?
