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.

Hi, I just encountered a problem with IE. I want to make this website look
like it's divided in a top and a bottom half. But i want it to be atleast
800px wide. FireFox supports min-width, but IE doesn't support this. So,
everything works great until the browser's width is less than 800px. I want
the background to span the entire width of the screen.

The setup is as follows:

----
<div [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  <div [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    <div float left>
      Menu items
    </div>
    <div float left>
      Page body/content
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

<!-- here should be a border spanning the width of the page and screen,
dividing the page in a top and a bottom half -->

<div [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
  <div [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    Info body/content
  </div>
</div>
----

It appears like the <div id="page"> and <div id="info"> are being clipped to
the width of the webbrowser, if it's < 800px. Is there a way around this?


Here's the website:

Sincerely yours,
