Background div issue

Yes, what I originally learned was that using em's for an elastic layout
allows
the elements to scale to the user's preferred text size as opposed to a
fixed
layout using px's. But now I'm wondering how many users resize their text
versus using the zoom. My side boxes are still set to em's and they spill
over
if I resize the text but not if I use the zoom. If I change to px's that
will
keep them from spilling over when text is resized.

Anyway I appreciate the help and insight. I'm happy with my site and can't
wait until I don't have to factor in IE6.

That was a great technique to use in the past, but since all modern browsers
now default to a visual zoom, it is largely unnecessary. IE6 does not
support alpha transparent PNGs, which is why your page background does not
show through the shadow on the right side.
