RE: [WSG] IE min-width problem
http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/- is a good article on using IE expressionsto control text width. -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Tania MorrisSent: Wednesday, 10 August 2005 4:20 p.m.To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.orgSubject: [WSG] IE min-width problem Hi Folks, I've been working on a site which has three columns which unfortunately need full height backgrounds, some have rounded corners and... well it's been tricky but it's all working ok... except that due to the fact that IE doesn't accept min-width, it becomes quick ugly in IE when the window is resized... You can look at the beta site at http://dev.papercutmedia.com/perthjazz/ The CSS isn't to messy, but the XHTML does contain a few "spare" divs to enable the various background pics to get the "look" right ( boy am I looking forward to CSS3 with multiple background images for single elements!) and I'm getting the feeling I've looked at it too long and am not seeingsomething obvious... Any pearls of wisdom that can be offered would be graciously recieved. Tania

Tania, you may also like to look at Stu Nicholls's CSS-only method of enforcing min-width. It seems to be cross-browser, with versions for both quirks and standards mode: http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/boxes/minwidth.html Cordially, David -- David Hucklesby, on 8/10/2005 http://www.hucklesby.com/ -- ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

Hi Tania, We often use CSS expressions deployed inside conditional comments for such tasks as min-width in IE. See if this page might be of help for you: http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/accessibility/pop_integrated/pmmsite/ The comment is embedded just before the closing head tag and is part of the #wrapper rule.
