Scrunching up instead of adding left-right scroll bars

If you look at our new site (on AC7) on a smaller monitor or window it starts to wrap around and scrunch up instead of adding left-right scroll bars like our old (AC5.5) site did. How would you go about fixing this? I think it's because the table widths are set as percentages instead of a fixed number of pixels. What do you think?

seems you have build header on % width while your some part in contents and left sidebars are of fixed width that's why on small window header can skew more then the contents. May be you need adjust some fixed width for header as well.

So if we change the header and footer (noticed it was getting messed up as well) to fixed values instead of percentages you think it will solve this?

Thanks!

You could try setting a min-width and max-width too.
