Hi, the name's Steffen and I'm writing about the Web, programming
and all those things coming to my mind. Enjoy your stay.Internet Explorer and max-width
It is pretty simple to do a page with a fixed layout. Unless you are using Internet Explorer. This beast simply ignores every max-width, max-height, etc. that you specify in the CSS. But, there is a neat JavaScript lib that teaches IE the max-/min- settings: minmax.js by Andrew Clover. Hope it works for you - it seems to work for me.
I’ve tested it under Linux with Internet Explorer 6.0 using ies4linux which lets you run IE inside Wine.
