Title: Add minimum width for IE 8

- Set an absolute widths for header and footer on IE6/7/8
- Increase the set width for IE to 960px so it is the same width as the
heading. Otherwise there is a white block next to the footer when the
browser is narrow
- Add padding to the content in the footer which makes up for the width
of the footer element being wider. This matches the approach in the
header
- Set the background of the inner in the heading and footer to be the
colour of their parent elements. When IE window is narrow the parent
elements take the window width. This was causing the content to sit on
a blank background.
