Notice that you have to "do" stuff to make this happen. More precicely you
have to *do* stuff to certain margins on browser resize. Since neither HTML
nor CSS actually *do* stuff, but merely describe how other stuff is layed
out (they are not programming, despite the L in HTML), you are IMHO out of
luck.
BTW it does work in IE6 and IE5.5 but with horrendous flashing as the page
is made wider. These browsers fire onresize after every mouse move, not at
the end of the resize operation - a page re-layout re-paint after every
pixel and the repaint is not smart, it erases the canvas to white and then
paints the new content.
