    Why does min-width never work?

    Max-width always work, but when I enter mind-width: 800px; it never works.

    I can still narrow the browser window until the design breaks.

    I use floats, no absolute positioning, and this is the second design where min-width doesn't work.

    What could be the reason?

    I believe once you have width in %% not in px you will have what you need.

    Internet Explorer 6 does not support this property.

    If you provide absolute positioning to the element, it will be 50% in FF. However, IE doesn't like the min-width or min-height attributes, so you will have to define width as 50% also for it to work in IE.

    To start with, lots of standard CSS features don't work across the browsers. If it doesn't work, forget it and resort to other ways to achieve what you want done.

    I have been struggling for some time, trying to make IE behave as if it
    actually do understand the css attribute min-width.

    In FireFox this code works perfectly:

    <div style="width: 60%; min-width: 300px;">Some texst</div>

    If the viewport is more than 500 px wide, the width of the box is 60 % of
    the width of the vieport. If the viewport is less than 500 px wide, the
    width of the box is 300 px.

    IE doesn't understand that and the width of the box is always 60 % of the
    width of the viewport.

    Nothing I have tried works as wanted.

    Anyone who knows how to make IE do as wanted?
