I agree now, Gecko browsers were getting it right, not IE (world makes
sense again).

Rob - thanks for the JS test, results were exactly what I wanted to
see, but I ended up doing as Philippe suggested with the min-width on
the body.

FYI - I had to specify the min-width for html and body for this to
work, but it seems to have solved it in all browsers, and since ie6
was doing it wrong, although what I wanted anyway, I don't have to
worry about it not understanding min-width.

Good day so far thanks to you all!  Thanks again.
