Fix CSS max-width in IE Anthony has a good post on using this minmax script to fix a CSS bug in IE. If you're using the Sunsets theme (like I am) with Roller - you might want to add this to your page templates. I've patched this site - thanks Anthony!

To patch your theme, create a page with name "_minmax.js" and link "minmax.js", populate it with the script contents and then add the following in your theme's <head>: 

    <script type="text/javascript" src="$ctxPath/page/$userName/minmax.js"></script>

You can also create CSS pages for your site using a similar technique. While we're talking about IE bugs, you might want to know that <script/> doesn't work in IE, that's why you always have to add the closing </script> element. Posted in Roller at Nov 30 2004, 08:23:31 AM MST 6 Comments

You might want to name the page _minmax.js so that is doesn't show up in the navigation (Home | Archives | minmax.js), change the script reference appropriately.

Matt, I don't know if you use Avantgo for your pda, but this 'fix' is probably what screws it up. Until the post below, your site worked fine in my tungsten, and I could read the posts on the way to work. All of the pages would degrade nicely to fit the width of the screen. Now everything is too wide and I have to scroll back and forth, instead of just up and down. What a bummer. I'm sure that I'm not the only one affected by this. Anyways, great site, always a joy to read. Take care.

Matt, thanks! The site works again in Avantgo. This is great, now I can read the pages again. Brilliant!

Suspecting this could be a "reload" issue? Whether IE and/or Firefox will reload a page seems to depend on the DOCTYPE declaration.
