Hi there,
I am having a problem with the behavior of Firefox, where lefthand
column content is not resized properly after it is "collapsed" and then
"re-expanded". An online demo is available here:

http://s161149005.onlinehome.us/DEMOS/FF/RESIZE_PROB/main/frameset.asp

It works fine in IE 6, but in Firefox, it is broken. Specifically,
when the page/frameset first loads in either browser, it looks correct.
But when you click the "yellow minimizer" (see demo) and the column
collapses, and then click the "expander", the table layout in Firefox
becomes compressed.

I am not sure if this is an "onresize" problem (since the "onload"
sizing works), or if it is an HTML problem (where Firefox does not like
tables with 100% width when the holding frame size changes), or
something else I cannot think of.

BUT! I appreciate any and all help.

If I can get the behavior of this example to act the same in IE as
Firefox, I would be a happy camper.

This will become a web application, and only has to work in recent
versions of IE and Firefox.

Thanks,
Ann
