How to set limit to the window width

[jorntk]

I have a 3 column CSS. When I resize the windows to smaller size, the
left and right column width are not change, but the middle column will
shrink.
What I want to do is to set a limitation to the middle column so it
can shrink only up to certain width said 100px. so when I keep
shrinking the windows until really small, I have to scroll left and
right to see the content.

Eg, www.mywebhome.ca

Please advice. Thanks.

min-width: 100px; /* does not work in IE Win */

I can't imagine why you *want* horizontal scrolling. Most web authors
want to avoid them. But it's your site.

min-width: 100px; /* does not work in IE Win */

Because he is using 3 col layout, that just don't work on small window.
Instead of solving problem (one column too many), he tries to make it
look bit less nasty and allow main content area to have more than one
word at a line.

Yes, thats exactly what I mean. So, anyway to set the min-width for IE??

That's what I thought.

To only shoot yourself on toe, instead of foot, find that min-width JS
hack for IE.

I just read code from http://www.svendtofte.com/code/max_width_in_ie/ where
can do the trick. However when I use it in my css, the web page hang and not
responding when I minimize it.

Below is my code fro middle div:

#middle {
margin: 0px 185px 0px 175px;
padding-top:10px;
padding-bottom:15px;
border: #999 1px solid;
min-width:800px;
width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 800? "800px": "auto" );
}

Please advice. Thanks!

A bit of editing makes Lauri Raittila's point a bit clearer, perhaps.

That you don't want to solve the problem?
