It's because the width of your #main body container is sized indefinitely at 960px.. so it won't go any larger or smaller than that.

One thing you could try is to resize the #main body container within a CSS media query

@media screen and (min-width : 800px) {
    #main { width: 90%; }
}

what this will do, is when the browser is less than or equal to 800px wide, we'll change the #main div's width to 90% the width of it's parent (the <body> tag)

That should fix your issue, however there is an issue with your float system... the #main div isn't being resized appropriately because of the fixed with of your #article... or so far as I can tell. Might take a while to figure out what the culprit is, but also may mean a reevaluation of your current CSS/markup arrangement.

Same site ( thanks Justin, for the reply) different problem.

When I test this on 800x600 screens, the text gets chopped off on the right side. I thought min-width and max-width (w/IE6 hack included) would solve my problem but it's not working. I've been reading up on, and trying to use, "elastic design" but I obviously missed one of the steps.

The same thing happens if I use the zoom feature on my browser but I don't know if I can deal with that via CSS?
