make a div use maximum width

Hi,
I want the green piece ("Please be wide") to fill the whole space
between the red and the blue thingy. How can I do that?

Thank you in advice,
-Gernot

PS: My code is as minimal as possible, I know I should use strict-html
and stuff.

This is because the centre DIV isn't given a width.

Perfect! That's the way to do it.
