I have a webpage with a fluid layout with a 100% width.
When I resize browser window the elements in the page overlap.
I would create an effect similar to this website http://bologna.bakeca.it/ that when window is smaller than a fixed width stop resizing.
You can set min-width property of CSS for body tag. Since this property is not supported by IE6, you can write like:
body{
min-width:1000px; /* Suppose you want minimum width of 1000px */
width: auto !important; /* Firefox will set width as auto */
width:1000px; /* As IE6 ignores !important it will set width as 1000px; */
}
Or:
body{
min-width:1000px; // Suppose you want minimum width of 1000px
_width: expression( document.body.clientWidth > 1000 ? "1000px" : "auto" ); /* sets max-width for IE6 */
}
Well, you pretty much gave yourself the answer. In your CSS give the containing element a min-width. If you have to support IE6 you can use the min-width-trick:
#container {
min-width:800px;
width: auto !important;
width:800px;
}
That will effectively give you 800px min-width in IE6 and any up-to-date browsers.
