Title is wrong , correct one should be :
Do you use MIN/MAX-WIDTH and MIN/MAX-HEIGHT ??


I am building a liquid layout with percentage and wonder if I have to use MIN/MAX-WIDTH and MIN/MAX-HEIGHT , knowing that IE 6 and earlier versions do not support it.
Do you use them ?
Is there any rule available to avoid the bug ?
Nightmare area of browser incompatibility.  There are LOTS of hacks out there DESIGNED to get around this PROBLEM.  For example:

http://www.cssplay.co.uk/boxes/minwidth.html

I'm sure you can find more...Yes I still use those. You can avoid the bug by ADDING an empty(but with an   ) div with a fixed size(e.g. 150px) to the container which has a min width/height and set the container to 100%. The container will be 100% or 150px(which ever is larger). For the maximum width/height there will PROBABLY be a similar solution but I never use max, I use just fixed sizes for that.
I use min-height all the time, still.

to make it work in IE 6/7/8, and Firefox (and all other recent browsers), use this:

min-height: 150px;
height: auto !important;
height: 150px;

It simply WORKS. Perfectly.

As for max-height or min/max width..... why bother? There are ways to make min-width with percentages but are you really that concerned?[link Removed]
