Good evening James,
  
It was foretold that on 5-2-2004 @ 14:34:33 GMT+1100 (which was
4:34:33 where I live) James Cowperthwaite would mumble:
  
<snipped a bit>

JC> The right image now slides over the top of the left instead of breaking and going 
onto a

JC> Maybe not the best way to do it though... any thoughts?
  
There is no way to use pure css for what you want i'm afraid.
You could use the underscore hack as i said but that will not validate
your css sheet.

So you can also use an IE proprietary expression [1) or JS [2]

You can use the min-width in your main css sheet for decent browsers
and use a sheet for crappy IE with the expression and feed it to IE
with a conditional comment in your source code.

You  could  also place a fix-width div inside the main div to force it
to  be at least the width you need, but then you're hacking the markup
in  a  way that affects all browsers, rather than creating one invalid
rule  for one invalid browser, which can easily be dropped later if IE
"ever"  shapes  up.
