They say "it would break the web if they did", but other than that I
have no idea. What IE-version are you complaining about, btw?

That's always an option, but it won't help your page one bit.

Me neither, since I can't find 'min-width' _anywhere_ in your CSS.
Should be on body or #pagecontainer for it to have any effect. Of
course: IE6 wouldn't understand it anyway, but that's another matter.

IE7 present the page same as Firefox in an around 1280 wide window, and
IE6 is close - apart from the usual flickering / dropping of the right
column depending on the exact width since IE6 (and also IE7 to lesser
degree) has problems calculating width in percentages correctly and
overshoots 100%.

IE6 has its "auto-expansion" bug and can't handle overflow, so
float-drop is quite normal with wide content on narrow windows.

All of them give a horizontal scrollbar on narrow windows, but that has
nothing to do with 'min-width'.


BTW: the html element doesn't have margins or paddings, so no need/use
zeroing those. It is body that needs resets to zero.

This many source code errors...

...can't be justified.
