What they use is based on the same principle as I gave you:
.left {
float:left;
width:120px;
}
.right {
float:right;
width: 100%;
margin-right: -120px;
}
Note: this is useless as it's what CSS box layout does by default:
float:right;
width: 100%;
Reading
this helped me a lot understanding how all this formatting goes; takes less time reading than all the trial and error process you go for finding the right CSS
Back to your problem, I don't think the CSS box model allows what you're looking at; you'll probably will need some JS to do this.
