Hi,

at the moment phpMyAdmin forces IE into quirks mode, what makes most of
the current CSS problems

removing the XML declaration enables standard compliance mode for IE,
what makes IE to behave 'more' towards the CSS standards

but this also reveals the horizontal/vertical scrollbar bug

IE displays a unneeded/unwanted horizontal scroll bar as soon as it
display a vertical scrollbar, whether the horizontal scrollbar is
required or not.

there is no satisfying solution on the web (most just completely remove
the horizontal scroll bar or display them always)


i have figured out some possible solutions:

http://sebastianmendel.de/ie_scrollbar_bug/frameset.htm

the first two uses conditional CSS, the first seems to be make problems,
the second seems to work fine - just the space between window-border and
content is now between scrollbar and window and not between scrollbar
and content

the third is a (bot complete) JavaScript solution
