> http://www.vine.org.nz/index.php/test-page You have problems with a series of IE6 bugs in that test page, so I guess the live pages show similar problems. 1: the 'italic bug'[1] acts on main content and overall width, but of course not on the #pedestal. You have to fix or avoid that italic bug, or else there will intermittently pop up a horizontal scroll-bar when italic text hits IE6. 2: the first declared font-size is in 'em', so you're triggering the 'em font-resizing bug in IE5 - 7'[2]. That means the "min-width in em" part of your expression is "off by a mile" if font-resizing is anything but "normal / medium". Adding... #globalwrapper { font-size: 100%;} ...will "repair" that. 3: the "max-attack-value" in the expression must be larger than "max-result-value", so the width of the space to the right of #globalwrapper is accounted for. 4: #globalwrapper has to be extended to include all other containers, or else IE6 will tend to render them "out of sync" because of its many bugs - most seriously the 'italic bug' and the 'auto-expansion bug'. This means moving the end-tag for #globalwrapper down to </body> in the markup, which I hope is possible for the live pages also.
