I'm helping a friend redesign his site, and i've run into a bug that appears to happen in IE only. His site does not lie in the root of his server, he has the domain name tied to a specific folder on one of his other sites.

www.reviewstarwars.com

Now, when you go to the page you will notice that the page size is slightly oversized, causing a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page. All pages that use the domainame only are like this (his whole site is set up to do this instead of the true path).

Now, if you go to the same page with the true address, it works fine.

Anyone know how to resove this issue? It's driving me crazy :eek:

I'm using OPERA the browser right now, and both URLs display identically and no horizontal scrollbar appears until I squish the page to about 50% of my current resolution (1024x768).
(This may be of some help to someone to know...)

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is limited to IE.

Why load it in a frameset?

I believe that is done by his URL forwarding service. I didn't build it in a frameset. He told me he uses www.fasthost.com/ forword his true address to www.reviewgames.com.

Add a frame breakout to the document:<script type="text/javascript">
if (top.location!=self.location) {
top.location=self.location;
}
</script>
