fixed width box next to "rest of the page-width box"?

This is a little hard to explain but can I have a box with a certain pixel width and then have a box to the right of that to just take up the rest of the width of the screen? I know I could use a certain percentage but that just doesn't work well because the percentage has to be small if I want it to fit on an 800 width screen.

The next question is could I have a box below that to be the same width as the total of the two boxes above?

Hopefully this makes sense, I guess I was just hoping there was some code for stretch to the end of the screen.

Thanks because I'm new to this CSS stuff.

Test this simple skeleton markup, it seems like what
you are after:

<html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<div id="littlebox">i have a defined width</div>
<div id="biggerbox">i go all the way</div>
<div id="fullbox">I am the sum of the above</div>

</body>
</html>
