This seems weird to me as the layout uses a fixed width centred div of
700px and html has min-width:700px specified + there's an extra
div#mozscroll which is also 700px so the browser really ought to add
scrollbars when its width falls below 700px ... or am I
misinterpreting min-width? Any ideas anyone?

That wort of seems like beating a dead horse right there. If something has width:700px;, declaring min-width:700px; defeats the purpose. min-width is the maximum allowed shrinkage a site will allow with a resized browser window *before* it will not shrink further and adds in scrollbars. To be effwctive in this case, the min-width would need to be a smaller value than 700px.


As for div#mozscroll, it doesn't sound absolutely necessary to be there.
