While I currently use the width hack 49% and border 1px to create a separator for a two-column layout, I am looking for a better way to achieve this. The issue with the current method is that it breaks the design when the viewport size changes. Below is a demo showcasing the current approach:
body{
margin:0;
}
.left {
background: #eee;
float: left;
width: 49%;
border-right:1px solid #333;
}
.right {
background: #eee;
float: right;
width: 50%;
}
img {
margin: 0 auto;
display: block;
width: 44px;
padding: 5px 0;
}<div class="navigate" style="width: 170px;">
<div class="left">

<div class="right">
