800X600 in IE5

Update. http://newlifechurchofbr.org/


The person who told me that the site did not fit to their screen sent me 
a screen shot. Come to find  out they did not have their browser window 
maximized. So I guess the complaint was really that it is not a liquid 
design.

However, my design does have a problem. When viewing a fixed width 
design on a browser window narrower than the layout, people are used to 
being able to scroll to the right to see the whole page. The method I 
use to center the page prevents people from scrolling to the left and 
thus cuts off part of the page.
See:

#bodywrap {
  background-color:#fff;
  background-image: url(blueshade.gif);
  background-repeat: repeat-y;
  position:absolute;
  left:50%;
  width:726px;
  margin-top:0px;
  margin-left:-368px;
  padding:0px;
  }

IMHO, all the user has to do to view the whole page is to maximize their 
browser window. But perhaps that is asking too much. What is your opinion?
