Couldnt you define a wrapper div of 800px width then have 3 columns floated  
within that wrapper? ie. 
 
<style> 
..wrapper{width:800px;} 
..leftcol{float:left;width:200px} 
..centercol{float:left;width:400px} 
..rightcol{float:left;width:400px} 
</style> 
 
<body> 
<div class="wrapper"> 
<div class="leftcol">something</div> 
<div class="centercol">some more</div> 
<div class="rightcol">even more</div> 
</div> 
</body>
