I hate to point this out, but it would be unfortunate if those reading
this thread consider this an example of good use of CSS and HTML:

The page has 9 (yes 9!) wrapper or container divs that serve no
semantic purpose.
Hello Chetan.
Those wrappers are there to help IE6 and IE7 along. The design /
structure works well over a large spectrum of viewport width. Those who
argue over the use of non semantics divs would also be arguing over
resets, non-consequential selectors strings.
#wrapper #content .two-columns p.special {...}
At least we can all have our own individuality while arguing over *CSS*.
Odd how JS only came into this thread after someone mentioned that zoom:
1 can be applied with JS.
Not to mention the empty 'spacer' div, the 0-height
hr element, the mixing of block and inline child elements in a div,
the huge number of  entities and using three periods instead of
&hellip .
Must check. I bet that if I copied the code and used a xml or xhtml
extension, it would still be valid.
If there ever was a page design that could benefit from some
structural Javascript, this would be it!

Did you just say benefit? Sorry but cool CSS just make JS look silly
(works nice in Safari).

Since I follow the development of CSS specifications, I can assure you
that the above demo only show a little of how CSS will make JS redundant
for style and structure, leaving JS for behavior only.
The initial poster asked quite an importance question about hasLayout
triggering & best practice. They asked this on a CSS list since they
wanted CSS solutions about buggy CSS behavior by IE7 or earlier versions
of IE.
