Given the following HTML, I want the second div to appear to the right of the fixed size red box, auto expanding to the full width of the browser. What am I missing?

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
 <title></title>
</head>
<body>
 <form id="form1" runat="server">
  <div style="width: 100%;">
   <div style="width: 300px; height: 300px; border: 1px solid red; float: left; clear: both; background-color: red;">
   </div>
   <div style="border: 1px solid red; float: left; background-color: blue; color: white;">
