This is similar to the issue on the previous post here, but I didn't want to get the 2 issue confused. It seems that I'm having this issue in IE version 6.0 and not IE 7.0.

I wanted to make the width of my blog www.trijuice.com 60 pixels wider. I documented the changes I made to the default stylesheet, these are shown below.

CODE
#container {
    position: relative;
    margin: 0 auto; /* center on everything else */
    width: 780px;  /* NLM - CHANGED FROM 720px */
    text-align: left;
}

body {
    min-width: 780px; /* NLM - CHANGED FROM 720px */
    color: #333;
    background: #36414d;
}

#container {
    width: 780px; /* NLM - CHANGED FROM 720px */
    margin-bottom: 20px;
    background: #fff;
}

#banner {
    width: 770px; /* necessary for ie win - NLM - CHANGED FROM 710px */
    background: #a3b8cc;
}

#alpha { margin: 15px 15px 0 15px; width: 540px; }  /* NLM - CHANGED FROM 480px */


Why is this happening, can someone point me in the right direction. I've worked on this for 2-3 weeks and I can't figure it out. Am I supposed to change something else? Many users that visit are still using IE 6.0 and not IE 7.0 This is not an issue with the FF browser, version 1.5 or 2.0

thanks,

It's got something to do with IE6. I had the same problem, as my wife runs XP with IE6. I finally made her upgrade as it is fine in Safari, Firefox and Opera. All I can tell you is to upgrade your browser.
