You delete the 'overflow: hidden' and use another "expand to contain
floats" method. I've used 'display: table' to that effect, and IE/win
relies on the many 'hasLayout' triggers already there - IE/win doesn't
support 'display: table'.

It's caused by "tight corners" and different handling of
percentage-width. I've pulled in some back-side margins to make columns
appear narrower to browsers while keeping the visual appearance. Look
for negative right margins.

No font-size allowed on html and/or body for the IE-expression to work,
which means the...
* {font-size:100.01%;}
...must be deleted since it affects _all_ elements. I've commented it
out and added 'font-size: 100%' to #wrapper where it works and does no harm.

I've left trimming of details to you.


Note that such overflow tends to look strange when the entire
background-color overflows. It's often best to make changes to the
overflowing images so anything but the actual object is transparent.
