Posted By: Jamie on July 28, 2009: I have used this before, and yes it's slow, but when the design depends on min/max-width it does the trick.
Posted By: bucabay on September 3, 2009: You really should use IE conditional comments to limit the use of the expression() function to IE6 and earlier. IE7 and IE8 both support min-max width. I don't believe CSS validators will validate expression() also. Here is a reference to the use of expression to emulate min/max dimensions in CSS: max-width-and-min-width-support-for-ie
Posted By: Ahrjay on September 17, 2009: I added a pure CSS based min-width example for IE6 http://snipplr.com/view/19887/pure-css-ie6-minwidth/
