		<description>Sorry Reg I decided I had to fix this site with your code. 

One challenge was getting the 1px thick border to behave on the footer. I had to give .narrow_display_fix the same borders as #footer, but since .narrow_display_fix is inside #footer the borders were doubling up.

The answer was to giv</description>

		<description>@Xacto01 - surely a liquid layout would fill the screen anyway, regardless of size. That way all your backgrounds would dynamically expand... I have yet to see a liquid layout requiring horizontal scrolling except at stupid (less than 100px) widths.

		<description>This works great if you know what size your content will be and you can force the size of the container.   For all of us with liquid layouts, what would the proposed solution be?   

Lets assume the content will be wider than the the siblings in the same container.  How can I get those siblings to</description>

		<description>Eventually it worked for me both in IE6 and FF3. 
Sample code CSS:

div#narrow_display_fix {   
       width: 926px; }

div#footer {
      width: 100%;
      min-width: 926px;   /*FireFox*/
      align: center;
      text-align: center; }

html {
     background-color: #FFF }  /*also ne</description>

		<description>This solution leads to a problem when you want the footer-text always to be centered in the middle of the window and the window is greater then the fixed footer width. 

With a footer width of 925px and a window width of 1280px, the footer text will not be in the center of this window.

If you prefer to use min-width you'll need an IE6 specific stylesheet with an expression along the lines of:
#footer {width: expression(this.width &lt; 925 ? 926 : true);}</description>

		<description>I've had this issue also, and fixed it by putting a min-width on the offending div (in your case, the footer). No extra divs needed.</description>
