in FF its only 800 px wide but in IE it goes all the way arcross.


I'm forcing my self to learn CSS b/c tables are the DEVIL, as mama always said.

IE doesn't support it, sadly. You can use conditional comments to set a fixed width, or use conditional comments to set a javascript function that sets the width of the element onResize and onLoad if the width is greater than the max width you want.

Is this close to what you want? My page container is the same size in IE or FF...I used only CSS

yeah, how did you do thaT?

...he set a fixed width. Just set the width instead of the max-width.

Of course, this means users will get horizontal scrolling if their viewport is smaller than the set width.

Yep... and auto margins so that it remains centered when you change resolution.

Thanks guys your a huge help
