IE6 layout drop problem

J

jonhrs

Hi,

I have an intranet page which will be used by IE users only, primarily
IE6 users.

The problem is with the two column layout I have is that if there's a
wide element in the main content of the page which is wider than the
size of the window, the wide content drops to the bottom of the page.
Can anyone assist with a simple way to overcome this? Thanks in
advance.
