I've just hacked in a mixture of fixed and relative positions in the CSS
that seems to fix it (and narrowed the tabs to reduce the likelyhood of
overflow).



PS - it's not the nav bars - that has strung a lot,
is it the google adverts ???

No. It's something very silly in the style***.

I have a button bar down the left, and then the main area. IE, for some
unfathomable reason, thinks that the main area should be 100% of the
width of the window - despite the fact it's starting a few hundred
pixels in. I think, actually, it's an IE bug.

If I let it float the main area it moves it up and down slightly each
time the text changes when you mouseover the tabs - which makes me
seasick.

I have remebered a way round it - you make the areas overlap and give
the right hand one a margin the same width as the button column. So
I'll fix it sometime.
