Re: [WSG] IE6/7 have horizontal scrollbars on this

[Vincent Hasselgård]

Sorry to break this to you, but you're trying to accomplish something that's as good as impossible (maybe not impossible, but you're most likely to unless you drop IE5 or alternatively give it another stylesheet that don't have a fixed footer. It just won't work for IE5 because of something or another.

Robbie is right in one thing and that is it's the overflow:auto; that's causing your problems in IE5, take it away and the site will work.
I'm quite sure that you may solve this with DOM and some _javascript_, but I don't know where you'd might find it. I essentially gave up the whole thing, part because of trouble with IE5 and part because I didn't like how it turned out in FireFox and IE6 either.

This article does not create a footer that is fixed to the bottom of
the screen. If your content is longer it will push the footer off the
bottom of the screen.
