That really should not work according to my calculations. The layout 
would need to be refocused to something like this:

However, working with IE expressions requires working within some 
constraints so as not to trigger recursive loops. The element that the 
expression works on needs to be clean and must not contain (or 
inherit) borders, padding, or any proportional measures.
