Internet Explorer width issue Options

[fixtatik]

again, problems with the width. i just submitted a layout that i was pretty please with in every browser, except internet explorer.

i'm trying to get the classes .content and .interests to be 100% of a screen width. in firefox, safari, and opera, simply applying width:100%; works as it should. it refuses to do so in internet explorer.

i've tried changing display properties, using the !important extension, and anything else i can think of. no matter what i do, internet explorer is refusing to recognize a percentage width, so i've been forced to do a temporary fix of giving it a fixed width of 800px, to avoid a bottom scroll bar on browsers with 800x600 resolution.

any ideas?

i know there is a fix, because i've done it before. it's almost as if myspace is filtering out the 100% width for internet explorer.

i'm thinking it might have something to do with the blurbs table cell, because unless i tell the footer to be 100%, it still acts at 435px. since the code's going into the about me section, internet explorer is reading it as "100% of the table in which it's embedded." it makes sense, to an extent, but not in a designer's eyes. it would only be wider than 435px (the blurbs section's table width) because it has content inside which is causing it to do that, or when i gave it a fixed width of 800px.

i've tried changing overall table widths to 100%, i've tried changing the cells and tables of the blurbs section to 100%, but nothing is working. =/
