I've never been able to get the width expression thing to work, ever. 
Now, I've never tried Georg's examples, but they boggle my mind in their 
complexity, so I haven't had the courage to. Instead, I just stick a 
good ol' JavaScript (usually the doxdesk one) in my pages that reads the 
max-width set in my CSS without any additional work from me. IE 
expressions are pretty much JavaScript, and they don't work when 
JavaScript is off, so I have no qualms about using a real script to 
handle IE's deficiency instead of maddening myself with expressions.

By the way, Jukka, to start a new thread, do not reply to an existing 
message. When you do this, your message gets threaded on to the old 
thread, which messes up the archives and makes it less likely that 
others will see your message and subsequently reply to you. You must 
send a new message with an appropriate and descriptive
subject line to css-d@lists.css-discuss.org in order to start a new thread.

Thanks,
Zoe
