when the text is made smaller in IE the layout of my design breaks and the second column goes under the first column

http://www.nbyrne.co.uk/webwonder/about/

IE does not support min-width etc does anyone know how i can stop this from happening without making the columns narrower...

css code.

#content{
width: 54em;
float: left;
display: inline; /* IE6 double margin float*/
max-width: 71%;
margin: 0;
}

these are the two columns within the column div

#columna {
float: left;
width: 49%; /*or 26em;*/
margin: 40px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
display: inline;/* IE double margin float*/
}

#columnb {
padding: 0;
margin: 40px 0 0 0;
float: right;
width: 49%; /*or 26em;*/
display: inline;/* IE double margin float*/
/*background: #FAF5FA;*/
}

When viewed with IE6, the column is already misplaced, without resizing the text.

this is because your default size of text is set diff from mine if you make your text size larger then you will not have a broken page this is what i wish to try and change - the layout breaking when the text gets smaller.
