Weird problem with IE resizing page

[SKeefe]

I've got a simple webpage set up that has a horizontal header image along the top, a vertical image along the left, and then the main page of info in the middle. It is set up to take up 100% of the screen.

When I first visit the main page, everything fits with no vertical or horizontal scrolling bars. If I click a link to another page of the site (every page on the site has the exact same set-up as far as the vertical and horizontal image goes) or either refresh the page I'm on, it loads so that the page is too large length-wise and thus horizontal scroll-bars appear. This problem does not happen in Firefox.

Has anyone ever heard of this or is this a common problem? I can post the code to one of the pages if necessary; I'm in the middle of trying to convert a lot of it to css right now though.

Thanks for any help.

Sounds as if the active link has different properties (padding, margin and border) to non-active links.

Hmm, what exactly do you mean/where are the properties for that set? I'm somewhat a beginner at web design.

We will need to see the page to help.

You can see a simple example of it at www.pdoffroad.com/contact. It may look a little weird depending on your resolution because at the moment it is set for 1024x768; I am in the process of making it more easily viewable for all screen resolutions and converting some of it to css.

edit - if you visit the page above and then click a link on the left to go to another page on the site, you will see that the page you just chose to visit will not fit on the screen. If you hit refresh while on that page, it will then appear correctly.

It look odd in all browsers, different sized header images loading depending on the browser.
Seperate the Logo and Address and use the metal plate as a repeating background.
