RE: [WSG] div width: 100% with a div width 800px inside should always be > 800px right?

2006-03-09 Thread J Verburgh
Yes I can, but then it still wont work in IE... I would really like to get
it working in IE, since that's the browser most people who will be visiting
the site are using.

I would like to know if there's a way to make the wrapper-div, stop
shrinking when it gets down to the inner-div -- which has a fixed width of
800px.

I could get it to work using tables, but I'm trying to stick to XHTML 1.0
Strict, so i prefer to use divs.

In frontpage HTML, it might look something like this:




  

  

  
 This will fill the screen, but will always be atleast 800px
wide

Can't you just do a conditional comment for IE, giving the element a width
declaration, leaving min-width in the main style for real... er... I mean
other browsers?

Go to Al's site (projectvii.com?) and he has a nice javascript that 
checks for IE and handles the non-support of min-width by adding a width 
declaration at run-time.

Works great.
