logical order vs layout

in an attempt to seperate content from design and layout the content in the most orderly fashion (as suggested by Dan Cederholm), i have a page where i want the main content to appear above the sidebar information. but then once i apply css, i want the two to appear side by side with the nav a set width and the main content area to be resizeable. here's what the content looks like.

<div id="content">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</div>
<div id="leftnav">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
</div>

and i want the content to look like this:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatuto...torial0815.htm

now i've seen a dozen examples of this, and all of them apply a float to the first div, the sidebar. but i want the first div to be my content. anyone know of an example where a float is applied to the first div and that div is resizeable?

thanks,

corey
