Div to the right of a float is causing a horizontal scroll

I have a div which is floating to the left with a menu in it and another div to the right which is filling the rest of the space, the problem is, the div on the right is set to 100% but is going off to the right of the page and creating an unwanted scroll. I think the cause is the left-margin I have put on it to allow for the left floating div. Is there a way to make the right div fill the rest of the space without creating a horizontal scroll but so that I can also align things left: 0px against the edge of the float.
I have put the page onto one of my other domains so you can see:

You need use CSS position.

A little example Codepen

CSS

*{margin:0;padding:0;}


#divleft {
 position:absolute;
 top:0;bottom:0;left:0;
 width:250px;
 background: red;
}

#divright {
 position:absolute;
 top:0;
 bottom:0;
 left:250px;
 right:0;
 background: green;
}

Seen as though #left_panel and #right_panel are positioned absolutely, you can simply remove the negative margin form #left_panel:

#left_panel {
    left: 0px;
    position: absolute;
}

... then remove the 100% width from #right_panel and position it thusly:

#right_panel {
    top:0; right:0; bottom:0; left:150px;
}

Your Scroll Is caused beacuse yo have a margin-left for your

#right_panel

You have three solutions wich envolve make some changes in CSS for the #right_panel

  • One use method calc() to set the width:

    #right_panel {
   width: calc( 100% - 150px);
}

  • Two change your z-index value and delete margin-left:

    #right_panel {
   width:100%;
   margin-left:0;
   z-index:-1;
}

  • Three use box-sizing and padding instead of margin:

    #right_panel {
  box-sizing:border-box;
  padding-left:150px;
  width:100%;
  margin:0;
}
