I have used HTML for a while, and the current site I am working on I am going to do in XHTML. However, I can't work out the CSS to get the left column in a two column table that is the width of the screen to be 125 pixels, and the other column to fill the rest of the table. I have tried setting the width attribute of one column to 125 pixels and leaving the other column alone, and this did not work, I tried setting the left column to 125 pixels and the right 100%, and this did not work either.
If you have any questions, please send me a message before answering. If you want I will give you a link to the site I'm developing so you can see how far I've got with the code.

You are going to have to set the parent to 100% width, then when you set the left column to 125px, the other colum will make up the difference automatically.
Example:
| 125 wide | the rest of the space |

Set the width on the table element to 100%. Before the tbody, set up a col group of two cols, and style the first col to 125px: e.g.
| Left cell | Right cell |
