 Ok. I added a  min-width to the #content which seems to stop the

 always fix most IE probs! - but no joy. THEN tried 
 'position:ABSOLUTE'... bingo! Why on earth does this work??

GS Probably because 'position: absolute' adds 'Layout' to that
GS container[1]. It's an IE-bug that is often used to fix things in that
GS browser, although that bug most often creates more problems than it solves.

Are you sure? He wrote that he tried position: relative as well and
that it didn't work for him. This should have added Layout as well. I
didn't take a closer look to the site, but I bet that (as you
mentioned) position: absolute took the container out of the flow and
solved the problem. And of course created some new ones...

Adam: Have you tried to adjust the width of the container? Probably
the problem is a rounding bug or a bug in the min-width javascript?

I've just made the background images 3000px wide to cover the gaps that open up and, I think, I've narrowed the container - although I'm not sure now!.. It also now seems not to break in IE at widths over 1200px.. Am I right? My Virtual PC browser window doesn't allow me to stretch the site much at all!
