[update] If I can tear people away form the complex form issue for a moment... ;)
The expression does work, the syntax was simply wrong as a result of copying the text from a website. I had ` instead of '. Doh! So, for those who want an IE min-width solution, this is your baby IMO. One line of code applied to the parent container. Too easy. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Noone Sent: Friday, 21 October 2005 2:10 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WSG] Set min-width using DOM Hi, I know the jello tchnique and others have more or less effectively dealt with the problem of min-width in IE but they all require the use of multiple DIVs and heavily adjsuting your layout to suit. I've also looked at and discarded javascript solutions for the moment because I want to avoid hacks and remain accessible as possible. To that end it seemed that using the DOM *should* be a far more straightforward approach. I've applied the following line to my main container DIV's style. #pagewidth{ max-width:100%; min-width:780px; width: expression(((document.documentElement.clientWidth)) < 800 ? '780px' : 'auto'); } But she no work. Anyone got any idea why or what I can do to fix it?
