How strange - it fits on mine down to 800 by 600, but if I have the
font-size set at anything but 'smallest', it doesn't! And once it's
'gone wrong it's hard to get it right again! I'm talking about
IE6/winXP, viewed via the 'view in IE' tool in Firefox. There's a
screen grab here:

Fine in FF, naturally!
Am I cracking up?
Probably :-)
That's the result of using that particular expression in that particular
way, as it "takes over" once it has kicked in.
The logic behind the use of an expression to fix IE's lack of
'max-width' when dealing with 'em-width' scaled layouts, should be
reversed - like in this test/demo-example...

...that only has a minor glitch in IE5.0, 5.5, since I haven't bothered
to compensate for the effect of a few px border-width in the 'Quirks
mode' vs. 'Strict mode' box model.
Part of the problem, /and/ solution, is that we need to extract the
IE-user's own font-size preference/default, so "everything one has
learned about font-sizing from body up", has to be left out for the
correct logic to work. Not really a problem ;-)
