IE6 doesn't support the min-width or max-width css properties. But it does understand this : (not W3C valid css)
#container { min-width: 600px; width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 600? "600px": "auto" ); max-width: 1200px; width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 600? "600px" : document.body.clientWidth > 1200? "1200px" : "auto"); }
