Well I checked the spec's and wasn't lookin forward to another pot of coffee and an all nighter but I had access to IE7 today and played around for maybe 1/2 an hour and presto.... two simple edits...
I changed in the html { } and body { } tags,
from
height : 100%
to
height: auto
and that was it!
What a load that's taken off my mind....
Taltos you are right on. Even though in the past MicroSoft tends to be different (VBscript) and all, they are (now seemingly) conforming too everyone's else's standards too... which is great....
Thanks guys.... that guide helped too...
