By using negative margins from this tutorial the CSS can look as follows

html, body, .container {
    height:100%;
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
}
.container {
    min-width: 300px;
}
.left {
    float:left;
    width: 185px;
    margin-right: -185px;
    height:100%;
}
.right {
    margin-left:185px;
}
