For http://www.thinkvitamin.com/ -
This site has a scrollbar in IE7 around 884px. It appears that this is
caused by the footer. In FireFox it just ignores that the right
portion of
the footer is being chopped off and doesn't give you a scrollbar but
as soon
as the footer content doesn't fit in IE7 the scroll bar appears.
I didn't noticed that the content in footer being chopped off, but yes,
this is what I was trying to determine whether IE 7 has issue with
elastic + fluid layout (is there a name for such layout?), or other
browsers that got the words chopped off is wrong.
I made the screenshots for Firefox in Mac and PC, and IE 6 Vs IE 7
standalone.

http://lotusseedsdesign.com/ie.png - you can clearly see IE 7 has
scollbar at 800px and the reason for it is footer text.
Tee, i just looked more at the http://www.thinkvitamin.com/ site.
yes, i get the scroll bar at 800 wide in IE7 (not standalone). and yes,
its because its not chopping off the footer (wouldn't have noticed,
probably, though if Kepler hadn't noticed and then you re-mentioned it).
In IE6 it doesn't chop off the footer and there is no scroll BUT its
broken, the divisions don't line up right (they sorta fall all over the
place). In mozilla there is no scroll but the footer is chopped off.
so, it seems like out of those three that IE7 is handling it best. In
mozilla, using Tidy, it says there are 136! warnings. and , some in
particular are missing division endings. also, just noticed at 800 wide
in mozilla the divisions overlap in a way that doesn't work well, at
all. i think someone needs to take a look at it!

I am trying to fix a similar layout that I submitted to
accessites.org. My layout initially was elastic and aimed for 1024
screen user, however they found horizontal scrollbar at 800px - 800px
without horizontal scrollbar is one of the criteria. I wanted this be
fixed, so I amended my layout to "elastic + fluid" like the above two
sites, and I am getting some 70px scrollbar at 800px screen in my
standalone IE 7, not IE 6. (no special treatment is served for IE 6/7
for the outer wrap). At 800px screen in other browsers, no words being
chopped off though.
Thanks!
