need to create a new style.htm

I've been fighting it out with IE7 and my DHTML pop-out menu (left shared border). This works fine in FireFox and IE6 ... but in IE7 it's down to like a 5px width. When looking at the source for any page, you can see a specific td width of 1% - apparently coming from style, but I'm not 1000% sure of that. Anyway, I can't see the offending TD as it is part of a <!---msnavigation snippet.

I guess my main question is how can I create a NEW style.htm page that won't chop my DHTML menu?

We have 2 websites and it works FINE on the 2nd site (www.theartistsdepot.com) but does not at all work on the 1st site (www.tankersleywest.com).
I'm not sure if the culprit is the style.htm but have ruled out almost everything else. There is no setting in the DHTML menu creator that gives you the option to set a width of 1% - I can set an overall width, which is around 200px.

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

The 1% table width comes from the shared borders - left and right shared
borders are always placed in table cells set to 1% of the width of the
browser portal. The content of these cells will stretch the cell to the
minimum required width. The style sheet style.css (not style.htm) does
not set any widths.

From the page, the width of the left shared border is the same in both
FireFox and IE7. The problem lies with the sothink menu.
The menu on the second site appears to be a different version (based on
the code in the page) to that in the faulty site.

FYI - your no-right-click script fails in Firefox, and is worthless
anyway. It only hinders debugging problems and adding pages to
favourites.
