just set the width of the containing div, not the min-width, as that
is all that is required
to prevent the collapsing and is supported by almost every browser
available, including
good ole IE6.
@Greg
to stop supporting IE6 means stop supporting the people who use IE6.
many
businesses rightly feel an obligation to support their customers,
regardless of
their financial state and/or technical acumen.
it would make my life easier to disregard all but the most compliant
browsers,
but, sadly, making my life easier is not what my job is about. : )
