When the Saratoga Springs Public Library website was redesigned, although I used a static width (set to something like 720px wide) for the content area, I intended for it to be easily resized with supporting browsers. I made sure to set everything (else) to size with EMs in CSS (similar to percentage).
...an issue with the top navigation cropped up on some computers that I could not identify, nor could I figure out how to solve. For 95% of browsers I tested, and 100% with a vanilla install of Windows, everything worked fine. For those others, the navigation links at the top of our site just didn't seem to align. I thought it might have something to do with DPI or visual settings, but I had no idea how to accommodate for that.
Well I completely accidentally ran in to William Kolean's solution of fixing this issue with Microsoft's CSS expression engine. As the issue was only seen in Internet Explorer (and I already had an IE-specific stylesheet to fix tiny issues), this was a perfect solution, and I put it in to use (just now, actually). I can verify that it worked (on my first and only test) so I'm quite happy. I thought I'd post this for my own records, and to help others too.
