Please take a quick look at my site which is under construction:

Ideally you will look at this in IE and a good browser (FireFox, Netscape).
Now you need to login to see what is concerning me. You can use a username of testuser and a password of testuser.
In IE, the main content of the site has its width reduced to the width of the content. In Firefox, the width remains how it was to begin with - which is how I would like it.
Is this down to IE doing things wrongly, or me writing CSS badly? Whichever it is, can someone suggest a remedy?
ThanksI see no difference between Fx and IE6.ah, yes, that's because i changed the content of the <div> that was concerning me! oops! Let me just tweak it back for a moment, then i'll leave it alone for a while to let you (if you care) have a look.

Done. Now you might see the problem, but it is only after logging in when the content becomes narrower.
I don't think it is the login that is the problem, that's just because the login screen has narrow content.Sorry. Still nothing jumps out at me as being drastically different with the widths.Only difference I see is there's a scroll in FF and not in IE. In IE the box is longer, long enough to display the content. In FF it's shorter and the cutoff content scrolls.Really!?
I knew about the length difference - for some reason IE just lets the box grow taller to fit the content whereas FF sticks to the stylesheet intention of keeping the box visible in full and using a scroll within it.
Is it worth me uploading images of what happens at my end. I'm on IE6 and the yellow border changes its height and width to accommodate the contents whereas in FF the yellow border is always the same height and width. If the content is tall it shows a scroll to get to clipped content.
