[IE hack] IE6 freezes over width:expression()

Sent by Jeroen Visser [ vizi ] on 24 August 2004 15:03


Hello thinktank,

I'd like to get your thoughts on the following issue.

For a site we're working on, I use min-width to force a horizontal 
scrollbar if the available canvas gets too narrow. To simulate this 
behaviour in IE, I've included a conditional comment with a 
width:expression() --courtesy of Svend Tofte.

However, in my implementation, IE6 freezes if the window is 'restored' 
from a full-screen state. IE5 and IE5.5/win behave just fine, showing 
the behaviour I'm looking for.

I wonder if this IE6 problem is unavoidable, if this is restricted to 
one or a few IE6 builds, and if someone knows a workaround to get IE6 to 
behave as IE5 and 5.5/win.

Test case on: <http://www.vizi.nl/temp/ie6test/>

(Warning: your IE6 may freeze on window resize with this page.)

Thanks in advance for your time, browser check and suggestions,

Jeroen Visser
