Alternatively you can force the width of the box with a transparent gif set
to 400px wide. Note that you still need to include the
<code>min-width</code> style for better browsers such as Opera 6 and NS6, as
the image (correctly) doesn't force the width of the box with these
browsers.
Still a fudge but maybe preferable to scripting. Afraid I dont; know how
this technique works on a Mac, but feel free to try it here:
