[WSG] Min-Width, IE, Fluid Content and Hair Loss
Greetings all, I'm working on getting a site launched - http://mcdowell.sitesbyjoe.com - and was hoping to make it completely fluid in all directions. One problem, IE (surprise!) I have a min-width applied to my wrapper div of 842px, and a width set to 95%. That way it doesn't squish up (in small resolutions) too much and force floats downward. Needless to day, it doesn't work on IE since it doesn't recognize min-width. I've tried various workarounds/ searches on this, setting a width of 842px in IE only etc... These techniques keep it from shrinking, but I lose the fluid expansion that works so nicely on everything else... Anyone have suggestions on this? Joseph R. B.

You can try the javascript-solution that Al Sparber promotes on his page: http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/css/minwidth/ Download the Dreamweaver Extension or extract the JS from the Demo-Page. You could also fix it by feeding IE a expression in a speacial stylesheet hidden from the good browsers by a conditional comment. regards Martin ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Re: [WSG] Min-Width, IE, Fluid Content and Hair Loss
If you werent worried about users without JavaScript enabled you could use this http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/, alternatively have a fixed size for IE. Daz On 24/02/06, Joseph R. B.
