I am presented with this perplexing problem at the moment -- an opened Search/Favorites bar in IE is cutting off the left side of my page on small monitors.

Here's the site: http://clients.vltavastudios.com/orthok/

You'll need to open a sidebar in IE in a small window and you'll see what I mean.

If you make the sidebar wide enough, part of the page will be cut off even though the horizontal scrollbars are  at the very left.

Mind you, it's all VALID XHTML & CSS

Thank you

P.S. Oh, by the way...this is my client's request...if it were me I couldn't care less about IE search bars...it's a good reason for switching to FF...]]> 11/21/04, 326 01 2004 2004:%i:1101024100 03:01:40 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/page_cut_off_in_ie/#p1607 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/page_cut_off_in_ie/#p1608 it's all VALID XHTML & CSS

Being valid is not enough. You could write a bad essay but get all your spellings right.

The problem in this case is that you have a fixed width table at 800 pixels. The safe size for an 800 x 600 monitor, taking scrollbars and browser furniture into account is more like 780 pixels. Try reducing your table by 20-30 pixels but the only way to be really sure is to use a percentage width instead of a fixed one.

I believe this is due to the centering 'trick' in CSS...somehow with the sidebar open the page tries to center itself in the limited space...and results in the cutting off.]]> 11/21/04, 326 52 2004 2004:%i:1101084770 19:52:50 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/page_cut_off_in_ie/#p1609 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/page_cut_off_in_ie/#p1610 11/22/04, 327 00 2004 2004:%i:1101114021 04:00:21 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/page_cut_off_in_ie/#p1610
