Agreed. My point about IE 7 is that your page, and most of mine, do expand horizontally on zoom in that browser, even though there's no necessity, and other browsers do not exhibit this behavior. This is not a criticism of your basic premise. > > With this in mind, if you have to side-by-side divs, can you make them > both grow together if the contents of one changes? > The answer is both yes and no. For most browsers the answer is yes. For the world's favorite browser, the answer is mostly no, although some solutions have been proposed, mostly with horrible side effects. OTOH - I have not found a need for this behavior myself. I find that working with the medium far easier than fighting to get some print designer's notion of web design to work on the web. But then, I'm lucky enough not to work in the corporate world.
