Here's what I've done to circumvent IE's lack of "min-width"
support. This works because IE's "width" attribute acts like
"min-width", sort of ( in IE the width of a container can grow if
its content requires more room).
div.something {
width: 11em;
}
html>div.something {
width: auto;
min-width: 11em;
}
The first selector is for IE. The second selector won't be dealt
with by IE but will be seen by other browsers; it changes "width"
back to auto and sets "min-width" to whatever you want.
