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.
