Doc. type, CSS and IE's "expression." - ARRRGGH!

[autocrat]

OK, I have a page I've built to customers spec, (boss's).
Utilise's min-width etc in NN and Moz.

Not IE - obviously.
Found JS to emulate min-width..... yet the download for the script is huge!
To big.
Alternatives - limited.... can only find the IE expression for CSS to emulate this!

Not compatible tith any Doc type I can find..... as soon as there is a doc type, IE 6 crashes out, (big freeze!) + causes issues with NN and Moz, plus makes things a little different in IE... fonts are wrong, positioning is out etc.

Fix one thing, break another!

So, does anyone know how to get IE into quirks mode without breaking things in the other browsers.

Really, what I need is a Doc type that is compatable with the CSS Expression for IE.
Any ideas?
Please?

Try putting a <!-- comment --> before your doctype. I know that sends IE into quirks mode, but I'm pretty sure other browsers stay in standards mode. You'll have to check to be sure, though.

Thanks for the reply!
Already have though!

Stupid really...... test idea after idea..... search for hours on the net, not really the sort of thing that google pulls up.

The end result... some stupid plaything and faffing about solves the issue!

LOL

I wanted to cry!

Still, big appreciation for the reply.... out of 4 forums, you are the only one to respond!

THANK YOU.

I used the comment hack to give a specific height for IE. IE treats height as min-height even though it doesn't support min-height itself.
