IE 6 is saved by its own stupidity here.
Other browsers do what the specs say, and in this case it has an
unfortunately side effect...
I suppose you want the both the blue band and the white box
containing the table to extend to the right when the table is very
large.
A solution could be: wrap the whole page (including the footer,
depending on the styling you want there) in a div, and float that div
(div {float:left}). Do _not_ set a width on that div. But you might
need to set a min-width:100% to make sure it fills the viewport when
there is little content (avoiding shrink-wrapping).
(warning: untested, but should work well in most modern browsers.
please report back :-))
