OK I give, show me a CSS example

you just > positive that you can't be wrong?

Yes dumbass. I have checked it out online as I always do before
posting the link.
You're just being frickin nit picky.
Since I have "holder" set to a defined space, it can't possibly
overlap. When the browser window is shrunk, everything stays put and
you get a horizontal scroll bar.
Show me a screen shot, asshole.

It overlaps in Mozilla Firebird 0.7, Opera 7.2, and Netscape 7.1

It doesn't overlap in IE 5 or IE 6.

You don't get a horizontal scrollbar with Firebird. You just lose the RHS of
the box. You get one with the others.

Well it does. I've tested in both Opera and Mozilla and see the same
effect in both:

Thanks for the screenshot. Now I understand. I've looked at it with my
Mozilla but saw no real overlapping other than with the borders colliding a
little. Not like you show though.
So it can all be adjusted so that doesn't happen.
The point being, it is merely ONE WAY of doing it. Not the absolute and only
way.

I suggest that next time you investigate View->Text Zoom, though I
didn't need to change the text size to see the same effect as Toby.

So it can all be adjusted so that doesn't happen.

So why didn't you do that in the first place?

Surely a wrong way. Sizing a text container in px units is usually a
pretty dumb idea. You weren't thinking you had any control over the
text size, were you? That would be even dumber.
