You are using unit types inconsistently, which is having a negative
effect on the layout. A mix of % and px for width, margin, padding and
border values will never add up. The 180px sidebar box does not fit
consistently well into a space of approximately 30% of the window width.
The content area is width:66% plus some padding. Make the sidebar width
% also, so the 2 columns stay proportionate. If you want to use px for
margins, padding or borders, apply those properties to inner containers
instead (like .box) and don't specify width at all for those inner
elements. Then they will adapt to fit in the available space. That's
what a flexible layout is all about. :)
