Hi Rachael, Although some may not agree with this method because of the need for multiple div wrappers, the solution at http://www.cssplay.co.uk/boxes/width2.html I think is great because it appears to work in IE5+, doesn't require any javascript and works in standards compliant browsers that understand the min-width CSS property.

David - these are HTML 4.0 pages because of the content management it is running off... so it doesn't seem to be just an XHTML problem. Hmmm... Irina - thanks for pointing out the background stuff when javascript is turned off... will be doing something about that!!

I have reason to believe that this only happens on XHTML documents. At least, one document I had coded as HTML 4 strict did not have this problem. This may not be a viable solution for you, but you may like to give it a try. Seems to be an IE6 on Win XP SP2 problem only. Again, I may be wrong. Needs testing. BTW - IE did not exactly crash for us - it simply locked up.
