Get Width

Can anybody tell me how to get the width of a page?

I am trying to layout my page using DIV's, and I have a DIV setup fine on the right of the page, and one on the left, but I want to make the DIV on the left to only be as wide as the page minus the width of the DIV on the right.
i.e. so there is like this:
_______________________________
|left div | |right div|
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
|____________________ |_|_______|

window.innerWidth

and for IE
document.body.offsetWidth

Here is a more detailed way for width and height:

var x,y;
if (self.innerHeight) // all except Explorer
{
      x = self.innerWidth;
      y = self.innerHeight;
}
else if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight)
      // Explorer 6 Strict Mode
{
      x = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
      y = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
}
else if (document.body) // other Explorers
{
      x = document.body.clientWidth;
      y = document.body.clientHeight;
}
