So, I'm trying to replicate MSDN "pseudoframes" here. Their pages are laid out like they're using an old-school frameset, but inspecting their elements with firebug reveals they've done this with purely div's.

Here's my attempt at it. Its not perfect though, it only works in Chrome and Firefox, it has this weird highlight select behavior that I don't like, any takers?

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>msdn "pseudoframe"</title>
  <style>
body
{
  background-color: #aaa;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

div#pseudoframe, div#main
{
  border: solid 1px black;
  background-color: #fff;
}

div#pseudoframe
{
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  width: 180px;
  height: 100%;
  overflow-x: auto;
  overflow-y: none;
}

div#sizeMod
{
  background-color: #a0a;
  position: absolute;
  left: 220px;
  height: 100%;
  cursor: e-resize;
}

div#main
{
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 2em;
  padding: 24px;
  margin-left: 224px;
}
  </style>
  <script type="text/javascript">

function initialize()
{
  // get the pseudoframe and attach an event to the mouse flyover.

  var pf = document.getElementById('pseudoframe');
  var main = document.getElementById('main');
  var resize = document.getElementById( 'sizeMod' );

  pf['onmouseover'] = function( event )
  {
    event = event || window.event;
    var el = event.srcElement || event.target ;

    // are we within 5 px of the border?  if we are,
    // change the mouse cursor to resize.
  };

  pf['onscroll'] = function( event )
  {
    event = event || window.event;
    var el = event.srcElement || event.target ;

    var sizeMod = document.getElementById( 'sizeMod' );

    //alert( el.scrollLeft );
    sizeMod.style.right = '-' + (el.scrollLeft) + 'px';
    //alert( sizeMod.style.right );
    // are we within 5 px of the border?  if we are,
    // change the mouse cursor to resize.
  };


  resize['onmousedown'] = function( event )
  {
    event = event || window.event;
    var el = event.srcElement || event.target ;

    window.lockResize = true;
  };

  window['onmouseup'] = function( event )
  {
    event = event || window.event;
    var el = event.srcElement || event.target ;

    window.lockResize = false; //release on any mouse up event
    //alert('unlocked');
  };

  window['onmousemove'] = function( event )
  {
    event = event || window.event;
    var el = event.srcElement || event.target ;

    if( window.lockResize == true )
    {
      // resize.  get client x and y.
      var x = event.clientX;
      var y = event.clientY;

      pf.style.width = x + 'px';
      resize.style.left = x + 'px';
      main.style.marginLeft = x + 'px';
      //alert( pf.style.width );

      event.stopPropagation();
      event.preventDefault();
      return false;
    }
  };
}
