Hi guys.

I want to use 'min-width' on a new site to prevent the navigation being
ruined in a window smaller than 640px across.

body {
min-width: 640px;
}

Works great in Opera, as all good things do, but has no effect in IE 6.

Anybody know of a work around?

Cheers!

- Dan

<body bgcolor="white">

<hr width="640" size="1" bgcolor="white">

Put that as your first line of coding.

Or try the following:

<div style="width:640px; height:800px; background-color:white; border:solid
black 1px;">
</div>

Now put all your other coding for the page within the div tags.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
