CSS, width + IE scrollbars

Hi there!

I've got a frameset where only the content frame will scroll. The css width property of all the elements on the content pages are left out so it will automatically adjust to the bounds of the frame. In IE however, when the length of the content requires a vertical scrollbar, the width isn't recalculated and a horizontal scrollbar (for the width of the vertical scrollbar) appears.
Now, this problem isn't the first time I've run into this. But I haven't used frames in a while and in the meantime I've migrated to using only css (css2, tableless, etc.). The only thing I still have to get a grip on is full browser compatibility concerning mainly layout cases.

This case is one of them: How best to tackle this scrollbar (cross browser compatibility) issue? Or: how to go about adjusting for that nasty border/margin/padding size issue?

Thanx for any input! I would really like to 'get to the bottom of it'.

cYa!
