Liquid layout does not have min-width enforced

Good point. Is there a particular min-width you recommend?

I'm thinking #page { min-width: 960px; }

Also, seems the liquid layout should have a max-width as well.

I'm currently working on a liquid layout with 6.x-1.0-beta3. This is what I was looking for and the 960px minimum is exactly what I expected. Personally I'd provide max-width as an option but leave it commented out.

We're planning on using 760px for our site, but 960px/980px would probably be a more popular choice and would meet more common expectations than 760.

Note that IE6 does not respect min-width/max-width, and so if you want it to work with IE6, then you'll have to add some additional code for IE6. Some people use an "expression" code that is only recognized by IE and requires JavaScript:

For a CSS-only method, I think it may be quite a challenge to have both min-width AND max-width. Here is one CSS method that works well in creating min-width only:

There may also be a JQuery method (not tested by me):

For the CSS-only method of min-width in IE6, you can add code similar to this to ie.css:

	#page, #page-inner  
  {
     _height: 0;
  }

  #page 
  {
     _border-left: 960px solid #fff; /* use a border that will be transparent on actual backgrounds */
  }

  #page-inner 
  {
    _margin-left: -960px;
    _position: relative;
  }

Thanks guys. This is a great reference.

If we can keep this issue to just adding a min-width, then I'm in favor of 960px;

(I like to define a max-width for liquid layouts as a percentage of say, 90%)
