Francky, Thanks for the advice. Using your added styles, the result is better, but adds scrollbars a bit differently than I'd intended:
http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/bleber/css/table_test3.html Whereas in example 1 scrollbars appear for the container div (#preview), example 3 creates scrollbars for the the entire layout table. In the context of the project where this would be used, this produces a bizarre effect. The issue is that scrolling the entire layout table is likely to be very disorienting for a user. Also frustrating is that the long table (the table with many columns) increases the width of the layout table, effectively moving the right-aligned parts of my header and footer off-screen. An inline frame is starting to look a little more attractive for this disastrous table. Either that or a fixed width for the container div (#preview). I think the problem is with IE's interpretation of width:100%; on another area of the site, this property/value pair produces a table that goes off the right end of the containing div, with no scrollbars! thanks again, and sorry for the verbose emails--I just can't think of a simple way to describe all of this.
