I have the following code in my CSS file. And it works fine in Netscape, Mozilla and Opera. However in IE it keeps shrinking ignoring the min-width. The idea of using the widt:expresion .... came from online however it still does not work properly.

#pagecell1{
position:absolute;
top: 112px;
left: 2%;
right: 2%;
width:95.6%;
min-width: 850px;
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 850 ? "850px": "auto" );
min-height: 768px;
height:expression( this.scrollHeight < 768 ? "768px" : "auto" );
background-color: #ffffff;
}

Any help is apreciated.

Thx

Here’s a page that I think answers your question ...unless I’m not understanding your problem: CSS » max-width in Internet Explorer. Although it doesn't answer your specific min-width question, it does solve your problem.

Hope this helps ...there’s a lot of good information in the article.

it seems to work now ........ hopefully MS does not make any changes in IE to screw up again.

now to a second problem, again in IE

I have the following code

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td height="80" valign="top">
<span style="text-align:justify">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<br>
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx<br>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right" height="25" valign="bottom"><a href="#">[Full Biography]</a></td>
</tr>
</table>


However my text remain aligned left insted of justify. and i have absolutly no clue why. itried evrything i kne and nothing. once i take it out of the table is alaigned but as long as it is in the table no chnace.

I have to admit that I have not had time to invest in becoming as proficient at CSS as I am at HTML ...but my first thought is that this style may be interfering with a style of something this is nested within, like the TD tag. Try checking that out.

These things are often overlooked; as they are usually set in an external style sheet ...And you know what they say, “out of sight, out of mind.”

Hope that helps.
