Hello, I have a fluid site that was designed for me way back when and I have modified it a lot. I am having a problem because my main container is able to shrink down and knock all the content off the page down to the bottom of the site. I was able to make sure that the height had a minimum size, but I cannot get the width to stay at a specified minimum size, so it will stop pushing information off. Does anyone know how to do this either with css or just hard coded? I need some help. Thanks. If you want to see my site, it is the one in my site with Car Audio as the title.
yea no problem For your wrapper div set min-width: 800px; or obviously, any amount of pixels that suites you hope it helps
Unfortunately, min-height only works in modern browsers and not IE. Actually, it will work in IE7 but there are caveats with that. It can trigger 'haslayout' which may mess up other parts of the site. One way to deal with it is to just set 'height' which IE treats as min-height (go figure). But then modern browsers will see the 'height' property and use that. So, as usual, we should fix IE and not try to fix the modern browsers. The best way is to use conditional comments and put the height property in there.
drhowarddrfine, min-height works fine in IE6 as well, or at least on my site it does. I am not worrying about that anyway, I need the width minimum in place. Thanks for the helpl.
