Justin, please post to the group. If you want a private consultation
with me, I'll have to bill you for it.

I bet most users don't care. You could ask some if you really want to
know. Personally, I find the superfluous vertical scrollbar more
annoying. It makes me think there should be something farther down the
page so it looks broken when I don't find anything there.

IE7 supports max-width, though it isn't perfect. There are JavaScript
methods to get it to work in earlier versions. I'm sure a few minutes
searching google you'll find out how.

Why should you do anything special there? The banner is not one big
graphic, but 2 separate ones on a solid color background.

textarea {width:100%}
BTW, if you're really looking for best practices, you should stop with
all the divs and start using more semantic HTML. Using real heading
markup would be a good place to start, then list markup for the
navigation menu. See
