IE box
by CGrint73 on July 11, 2008

Internet Explore prior to v7 has a problem counting, in that it does not add
up your div's to the 100% tey should be of the available space other
browsers correctly do.
To get around this you can use the underscore hack to place a different
width in your style for one or more of your divs which make your design,
making at least one of them smaller for IE 6 should fix this problem for
you.

You simply repeat your width, and on the second one prefix it with a _

For example, if you had a div called 'maincontent' which was 600px wide, you
would do the following

#maincontent {
width: 600px;
_width: 550px;
}

This would result in IE (v6 and before) using the 550px (you must place the
_ version last), you will need to play around to find out the exact width to
use in IE.

You can also target all versions of IE using # instead of _, IE 7 dropped
the _ hack, but any version before it, still recognises it.

Hey Jesse -

Add the new code to the CSS file named style.css (it's in the "pages"
folder)
Look for div container rules which specify widths
