IE5 problem with scrollbar

[i4...@inet.uni2.dk]

hi

taking a thing at the time ... (the below is regarding the latest allan may14 
version)

scrollbar on any (?) Windows OS, any IE5*.


if we don't position the rightbox relative a scrollbar will show up if we at 
the same time have an element like a table that has a width of 100%


possible solutions i can think of

1) enclosed 2 files.(slightly messy but im on windows so im excused) remove the 
whole navbottom and the footer out of the rightbox. the 
navwidget-table should be in no div at all and the footer in another relative 
div.just below this works 
on windows200/ie5.5 and win98/ie5. im not sure at all if it works in other 
browsers. please check!


2) completely remove the bottom navwidget


3) remove the top-link from the bottom-nav-widget and right-align the whole 
nav/widget table (we cannot specify a width of 100%)


4) use the current preview html. a minus to this is that the top-nav-widget 
will follow long content out of the window to the rightside (in some browsers)


5) others?

Any chance you can setup a few test pages somewhere and we will post 
snapshots / impressions? What you are suggesting here is too error 
prone, as we may do something different from what you meant and won't 
help for the progress but take back instead.

My take on this issue is as follows. Somehow we need to split the 
rightbox into 3 parts which will be completely independent from each 
other, other than being laid out relative to each other. The 2 parts is 
the content, which can be wider than the window and scroll. The 1 and 3 
are of a known size and should always fit into the window. Can we do that?

While we are at it, I'd love to have a real tail div, following the 
leftbox and rightbox (whichever is longer) and not being part of the 
rightbox. Can we do that?
