I have a problem with my main div and the fieldset I have encompassing a table.

 

Here's a screenshot: hxxp://all-inbox.com/images/screenie.png

 

When the table gets too wide, I want the div to stay with it, however it does not. Here's the CSS:

 

#statTable {
margin-left: 0px;
        padding: 3px;
margin-top: 0px;
border: 0px solid #000;
min-width: 750px;
/*height: 250px;*/
        font-family: Arial;
}

#dashedDiv { 	
  text-align: left;
  vertical-align: middle;	
  margin: 0px auto;
  padding: 10px;
  /*min-width: 1000px;*/
  min-height: 500px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: #ffffff;
  border: 1px dashed #564b47;
}

fieldset {
width: 800px;
margin-left: 10px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
padding: 0px;
border-style: solid;    
border-width: 1px;    
border-color: #659539;   
background-color: #ffffff;
min-height: 250px;  
}

legend {
padding: 10px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;    
font-size: 16px;    
color: #000;
background: #fff;
font-weight: bold;    
}

var menu=new menu.dd("menu");

the extra <html> and <body> tags are the crappy GoDaddy html editors adding their own tags when I use include to put a menu on the page.

To be honest, I'm not exactly sure of the full reasoning behind it - it's just something I've found to work in the past. But what I think that happens is that the natural width of the table takes precedence over the width of the containing element. So you need to explicitly set the width of the table at 100% so that it doesn't overlap.
