A css solution for this IE’s proprietary property “expression”.
This can be used to make IE understand min-height, max-height, min-width, max-width. You can have a look at http://technotweets.com/javascript/solution-for-ie-6-7s-min-width-max-width-min-height-max-height-problem

I really prefer the css hack
div {
min-height:500px;
height:auto !important;
height:500px;
}

Actually yes Taly, but it doesn’t work as well as this case.

This is due to that most of the time we are dealing with text, and text wraps around the boxes.

If we define a min-width for a floated label for example, and give it a width in IE6, it will work at a glance, but when the label text gets longer the box will not resize in IE6. The text will take 2 lines of space instead of 1 and will not expand the box :/

This is awesome! thank you!

Question: can this be reproduced for min-width?
