Title is wrong , correct one should be :
Do you use MIN/MAX-WIDTH and MIN/MAX-HEIGHT ??
I am building a liquid layout with percentage and wonder if I have to use MIN/MAX-WIDTH and MIN/MAX-HEIGHT , knowing that IE 6 and earlier versions do not support it.
Do you use them ?
Is there any rule available to avoid the bug ?
Yes I still use those. You can avoid the bug by adding an empty(but with an ) div with a fixed size(e.g. 150px) to the container which has a min width/height and set the container to 100%. The container will be 100% or 150px(which ever is larger). For the maximum width/height there will probably be a similar solution but I never use max, I use just fixed sizes for that.
My web site is build with liquid layout, and because of that I don’t understand why you ask this question. When resolution of screen and window getting larger height becomes shorter, and there is no need for min/max height. No one uses lesser resolution of 800 x 600 px and it’s not matter how it looks at lower resolution of that, and there is no need for min/max width.
