CSS: min-width and min-height with Internet Explorer

Combining the underscore hack with the ability of IE to evaluate expressions in CSS, you can set the minimum/maximum width and minimum height of an HTML element using CSS: div.content { background: #eee; /* minimum height */ min-height: 400px; /* auto height for compliant browsers */ height: auto; /* min-height for IE browsers */ _height: 400px; /* minimum width */ min-width:300px; /* IE Dynamic Expression to set the width */ width:expression(document.body.clientWidth 600 ? "600px" : "100%" ); } This makes sure that the DIV element this is applied to is at least 400px high and 300px wide and at most 600px wide. This is a combination of Imposing Minimum Width With CSS and The Underscore Hack .

Browser Capabilities Project

The Browser Capabilities Project is a site where you can get an updated Browscap.ini file that is used for getting the capabilities of the browser that the site visitor is using - so you can check to see if a certain feature is supported - JavaScript, VBScript, Cookies, Tables etc. The above does not work with ASP.NET, but there is a way to do it by editing your machine.config or web.config files.

Underscore Hack (CSS)

A useful hack for serving up CSS that only Internet Explorer for Windows can interpret (i.e. to fix various bugs). Other browsers simply ignore the property. Useful for working round the position:fixed and min-height issues, as well as any others that require CSS that is only interpreted on Windows IE.
