No it doesn't. This is a common myth. IE treats height like min-height, 
but not width like min-width. Case in point: make a page with a div with 
a red background. Give it min-width 500px. Observe that in Firefox the 
div will grow to fill the window at all widths except 500 and below, at 
which point it's fixed at 500px. Observe that in IE the div will never 
grow to fill the window but will always be 500px. Not the same at all.

Not picking on you, Sophie -- lots of people make this mistake -- but 
this myth continues to get propagated and it's one of my pet issues to 
squash it. :-)
