This exact system below (expression etc) was actually used previously but there were problems when people resized the window. Basically content started disappearing within the affected DIV, this was fixed by either reloading the page or resizing the page again. Annoying because it fixed the problem until the content started disappearing.
My previous question regarding making the middle section static over-simplified the problem. I will do a mock up and put it live so I can show people what I'm attempting to fix.

And if you're not up to the challenge of such a large task, you can simply take the simple approach and use an expression.: <!--[if lte IE 6]> <style> #pickyourdiv { width:expression(parseInt(this.currentStyle.marginLeft)+parseInt(this.curren tStyle.marginRight)-document.body.clientWidth>=-350?"350px":"auto"); margin: 0; } </style> <![endif]--> Of course, that might be too simple and I'd hate to ruin anyone's fun :-) Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com "Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday". ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
