You'll see the page scroll bar in IE at 1024 at text-size 'largest,.' and I am not sure why it does not show at 'medium.' One thing is that there is a re-sizing bug in IE, that causes the fonts to go a little goofy at anything other than text-size 'medium' when font-size in em is declared on the body. Leaving your CSS as is, and adding this will correct that: that: html { font-size: 100%; }
Your text is nice and large, so not much problem with zoom. But, nevertheless it is sometimes a good idea to account for extreme zoom, even though most users may not employ it. Because you've set heights on the containers, structured the page with absolute positioning-- not even the scroll box will help in extreme situations. Your page could be much simpler, and more usable, by using a simple float layout and abandoning the absolute positioning, heights, and scroll box-- in other words, you could just let the content flow in its natural and unrestrained order. But that's your call, not mine. Perhaps someone else on the list can give you a specific answer to your question.
