Setting min-width to table cell td/th

[Marek Mänd]

How do i set/specify minimum width (min-width)
and minimum height (min-height) to the table cell (td/th)?

No, I dont want explicit width setting.

No, I dont want spacer GIF's.
Can I do it in CSS?

No?
Why? Why not?

What justification is there to the fact, that i can
achive my goal with spacer GIFs but not with CSS?

You can't specify min-width, but if you use width, it acts usually
exactly as if it was min-width.

You can't specify max-width for table elements.

If you can think good, somewhat simple algorithm for min and max width
for table cell, you should state it in www-style list. But you should
have understanding of CSS before doing that.

Max-width does not apply to table elements, so you need to wrap your
content to something to get max width working, but that is almost always
bad approach.

You have misunderstood things.

justification ??? you think software developpers have to justify their
code somehow ?? maybe you should install the new 'software-inquisition'
and have all developpers that publish software that do not comply with
the holy-software-standards to be burned at once.
