I'm curious about the meaning of width="100%". On some pages that I had written, the nav bar that I had created rendered to a 100%, yet the worksheet beneath it (all in the same page) exceeded 100% and thus allowed the user to scroll right, and exposed space where the nav bar had not been painted (regardless, again of the 100% setting for width in the nav bar's table).
I have corrected this by implementing a set of frames, one for the nav bar and one for the core body of the page. However, now ie no longer paints a grayed out scroll bar to the right of those worksheets which fit the 100% width perfectly. Instead, these pages show the empty bgcolor of the page, in the region otherwise reserved for the disabled scroll bar.
If I load the document outside of the frame, straight from disk, it paints the disabled scroll bar. ARGHGHGH.
In Netscape, everything works perfectly.
