look at this beast

tom lee, on his blog at tl on pl, has come up with a way of faking the css property max-width in internet explorer - ie5.5 and ie6, in strict mode, to be exact.

it uses microsoft's dynamic properties and it's possibly the most ugly thing you'll ever see - and i know ugly, you should see some of the clubs i've been in - but looking at his test page, it seems to work.

i've had varied success using:
width: expression(document.body.clientwidth > [insert width]? "[insert max width]": "auto" );
for a couple of years now, but it looks like this may be better.

anyways, you can read about it at max-width in ie using a css expression.
