IE ver 6: Controlling Panels

Greatings from a MS neophyte:
I'm developing a Web front-end using W3C-compliant Firefox browser via my Mac iBook. I need to run this on my client's IE ver. 6 browser/Win2000 box.

1) How do I control the max/min browser window size?
2) The Firefox version is able to adjust to a laptop's smaller screen. But under IE, the panels pop out of line (unable to adjust size and hence don't fit). I'm using a CSS with relative size values. For example:

Panel layout across screen:
| tree | InfoColumn | - the Attributes |

The CSS (abridged):

/* Left Panels */
#theEntities {float: left; width: 50%;} /* {treeFrame + InfoColumn}*/
#treeFrame {float: left; width: 46%; height: 400px; }
...
/* Middle Panels */

#psElementsTable {font-size:110%;
float: right;
cursor: hand;
background-color:#7FFFD4;
visibility:hidden}
...

/* Right Panel */
#theAttributes {float: right; width: 50%; height: 400px}

3) A Good IE book to translate W3C to MS-speak.

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you post the full HTML and CSS to reproduce the issue?

Thanks
