I don’t know and can’t understand why such a silly thing should happen
But I want to figure it out , and I need your help
The Strategy :
                  Wrapper
—————————————————————————————-
                Header
—————————————————————————————-
                MidRowContainer
LeftColContainer |  ContentWrapper   | RightColContainer
              Footer

—————————————————————————————-
LeftColContainer & RightColContainer each includes another div
called : LeftColumn & Right Column
We want to let the Contents Part increase with our contents
I prefer to have this style .
Worked as we wanted in FireFox & IE 7.0 but IE 6.0 do that in a way that it stretches the wrapper part in a silly style and it’s width increses not height !!

please help me with this
Thanks

the CSS Code
body {
}

#Wrapper
{
    margin 
auto ;
    
background-color red ;
    
/*
    height : auto ;
    position : relative ;
    */
    
max-width 778px ;
    
min-width 778px ;

}
/*-------------------------- */
#LeftColContainer
{
    width 
150px ;
    
float left ;
    
margin 0 0 0 0 ;
