Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-1758:
------------------------------------

Jacques,

I don't agree with the solution in that link. First of all, our styles are not 
based on pixels. Secondly, our multi-column layouts use percentages - so the 
screen can be resized.

The real problem is due to IE7's inability to perform simple math. Example: 
left column width set to 30%, right column width set to 70%. In IE7, 30 + 70 = 
110 (or some other number greater than 100).

To solve this problem, column widths have to be reduced to less than 100% 
total. But that results in an unacceptable gap between columns in other 
browsers - so a hack has to employed to reduce column widths only in IE7. 
That's why I suggested an IE-specific style sheet that could be cascaded from 
the main one. The maincss.css file could accommodate all non-IE browsers, and 
the IE spreadsheet contains the IE hacks and fixups. Using IE-specific HTML, it 
could be loaded conditionally.
