Obviously, there is still a > problem. Sure is. The combination of * html div#column2 {height: 100%;} (the 'hasLayout'[1] trigger) and the minmax04.js script, makes div#column2 run out of space in IE/win. If either one is commented out, then the drop doesn't take place. However, I don't think that's an option. > 1. Could you help point me to a solution? You /can/ solve it by making div#column1 "take up no space". Adding... div#column1 {margin-bottom: -1000px;} ...or some other "too large" negative value, will work. You will probably also have to add... * html div#mainwrap, * html div#column2 {overflow-x: hidden;} ...to make it work somewhat, and... html {font-size: 100%;} ...to kill the 'em font-resizing bug in IE/win'. The above is not a "nice fix", and not even a complete one, but I do find it hard to fix this kind of bugs nicely with CSS, when javascript is part of what affects a layout-bug. > 2. What is this behavior/bug called on the css-discuss wiki list of > bugs <http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=InternetExplorerWinBugs> > http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=InternetExplorerWinBugs ? It is a bug-combination. The 3px jog bug is involved, and the rest is best summarized as "the dark side of Layout". The IE/win bug page says: -- A lot of Internet Explorer's rendering inconsistencies can be fixed by giving an element "layout." -- What isn't mentioned there, an what's often ignored, is that "layout" is triggering _its own set of bugs_ - some of which you have encountered, and those bugs limit our layout-options in IE/win.
