Question about width?

[laurieballard]

Hello

I asked a similar question previously but this is a different question/problem

I have a #wrapper id which is set to width:80% meaning it stretches according to the screen resolution.

However I then have an #inner tag which has a fixed width of 950px as i dont want the content to stretch if the screen reolution changes as the elements have a fixed widths.

In IE the page is centred but in firefox the whole page is aligned right and will only centre if i change the width of the #inner tag to be auto;.....cant really win on this one?

Please post some minimal code showing the problem.

For your own sanity: don't develop in IE, it'll only set you on the wrong foot.

I think you should add one more fixed size div in #inner div and set auto width for #inner.

FireBug is best plugin for FF to set html and css as per need.

you may well be lucky, depending on which browsers you or your client need to support. You should use min-width for that inner element, however whether that will work properly x-browser or not is another story

Fixed by using min-width and setting the width to auto

Thanks very much :)
