I'm playing email catch-up, so ignore me if this point was covered and 
I missed it...

If you want ie/win like behavior where #maincontent is forced to be as 
wide as the table inside it, you could use display: table;  If you also 
have a right floated sidebar, this will cause problems as the floated 
sidebar will drop below the table.  You might be able to get away with 
setting display: table-cell on #maincontent and the sidebar, but that 
depends on how the page is structured, and will require ie hackery.

If you want a horizontal scroll bar for the table, then set a width and 
overflow: auto; on #maincontent.
