Hello,

the following page has some problems with IE6:
http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Downloads/CSS-Test/ie6test.htm

If I change the width of the browser window, sometimes the middle column
"breaks" below the left (left floated) column. 

This only happens under certain circumstances. The original website contains
thounsands of pages that are very similar, and only sometimes this behavious
appears. Before on those pages showing the problem, the middle column was
even invisible. I was able to correct that, but now I have this jumping
middle column.

When it jumps down, I can see that the div.zenoCO (the white box in the
middle column) is wider then for example the div.zenoCOHeadline (the first,
darker grey box in div.zenoCO). Being in such a situation, the whole
div.zenoCO breaks or jumps down. If you make the browser window narrower or
wider, then the div.zenoCO's width get's correct at certain points again,
which makes it jump up again.

In an earlier version I positioned the middle column absolutely. That
prevented it from jumping. But then I had another bug in IE6: I couldn't
select text that was below the bottom edge of the (shorter) left or right
column.

Thus I either need a solution that prevents the middle column from sometimes
having the wrong (a too wide) width, or - in case I have to return to the
absolute position - I'd need a solution for the non-selectable text.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One thought: I guess it has to do with the Permalink at the bottom of the
page and the way IE6 breaks it into more than one line. If the permalink is
not breakable at all, the div.zenoCO's width is set so that the complete
permalink fits into it, making the div.zenoCO much too wide.

In Firefox, the permalink is just cot off, this is the wanted behaviour.

In IE7 it is not cut off, but it extends the div.zenoCO so that the
div.zenoCO's width remains o.k. and it still fits between the left and the
right column.

Seems I need a solution that 
- hides the overflowing portion of the permalink in IE7
- does the same in IE6 and prevents the div.zenoCO to be made too wide

Again: Any help would be appreciated.
