I often find myself in need of the Holly Hack for one reason or another.
That's about the only one I will use. I tend to stay away from the Tantek
hack if possible by not using border and padding together on divs.
Like many others who have replied to this thread, I try to not use hacks as

Hang on there, fella. Don't be so hasty.
Looks like you may be experiencing the IE Peekaboo bug, as described (and
solved) here:

It's a simple fix.

Hi,
There are several things you could try in an attempt to fix this.
First, validate your XHTML and CSS. Next, try applying the IE Box Model
Hack (http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html). Since you are
using padding and a border on some of your divs, this is likely the problem.
IE5.5
Hi Sean,
You might try fixing the XHTML and CSS validation errors as a starting point
to rule them out as a source of the problem.

Hi John,
Here are some comments on your site and the AP:

step to getting inside the site, which in today's world, could be one too
many. Personally, I would rethink having 'requirements' on the splash
screen as well. One b

For starters, you might remove the min-width from your #id's. Those will
keep the page from being as liquid as possible, which you said you want. I

somehow, but if you target your whole layout to fit a minimum wid

To answer your question directly, add a right margin to your h4 tags in your
style sheet:
H4 {margin-right: 10px;}
To answer your question with a suggestion, don't use h4's for your nav
links. Rather, use an unordered list to gain better control over their
display and establish better semantics
Total up all of your widths and margins of you left and right columns, and
you will see that they equal more than the width of your wrapper id.
The right columns falls below the left if you narrow the browser window as
it is. Once you add more margin space, it's probably lowering the threshold
