Go back to my response to "[css-d]IE not hiding overflow?" less than a
day ago, and you'll find the way to make IE 5 - 6 behave as intended.
"IE's bug is that elements with 'position: relative' declared on them
will overflow containers with 'overflow: hidden' declared - visibly but
without taking up space."
IE7 actually works that way, so it's quite possible that the IE-team
used the bug to cover up for other bugs. Doesn't work in accordance with
CSS standards though.
One can also pull in backside margins on content-elements, so IE 5 - 6
don't "auto-expand" to their real size.
