Yea this is all prototype stuff... I'm gonna change the style a great deal - just trying to get the structure down. I was yelled at for using tables to format the page on like 5 different websites lol... people are really hardcore about only using tables for tabular data, not for setting up structure.

To Ihealyou: when I take float: left out of the code, it puts the article next to the nav bar, but the border of the article goes behind the nav bar (it extends across the page). I'm trying to have a border and have it lined up next to the nav bar properly.
Then you need to go with CSS,

I did this in about 5 minutes with tables. Theres no reason not to use tables in your case.
