minWidth property

Sets or retrieves the minimum width for an element.

 

Syntax

Integer value = object.put_minWidth(Variant v);Integer value = object.get_minWidth(Variant* sMinWidth);

Property values

Type: VARIANT

The minimum width for an element.

length (length)

Floating-point number followed by an absolute units designator (cm, mm, in, pt, or pc) or a relative units designator (em, ex, or px). For more information about the supported length units, see CSS Values and Units Reference.

percentage (percentage)

Integer followed by a % that specifies a percentage of the containing block width to use as the minimum width of the element. If the width of the containing block is not explicitly set, then the element has no minimum width and the IHTMLStyle5::minWidth property is interpreted as 0%. For more information on containing blocks and how their widths are computed, see the Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2.1 (CSS2.1) specification.

String format

auto | <length> | <percentage>

Initial Value auto

Standards information

Remarks

Internet Explorer for Windows Developer Preview introduces the 'auto' value as the initial value for IHTMLStyle5::minWidth. This provides a reasonable default minimum size for flex items (for more information, see Flexible box layout).

IHTMLStyle5::minWidth was introduced in Windows Internet Explorer 7.

The IHTMLStyle5::minWidth/IHTMLStyle5::maxWidth attributes apply to floating and absolutely positioned block and inline-block elements, as well as some intrinsic controls. They do not apply to non-replaced inline elements, such as table rows and row/column groups. (A "replaced" element has intrinsic dimensions, such as an img or textArea.)

This property is enabled only under the strict !DOCTYPE.

Examples

The following example shows how to constrain the width of a div element using IHTMLStyle5::minWidth and IHTMLStyle5::maxWidth attributes. The example requires Internet Explorer 7 or later to view.

Code example: http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/minWidth7.htm

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<head>
  <title>CSS</title>
  <style>
    .width {
      width: 50%;
      min-width: 200px;
      max-width: 400px;
      background: #eee;
    }

    .content {
      border: 1px solid #c00;
      padding: 5px;
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="width">
    <div class="content">
      <h2>{ min-width:200px; max-width:400px }</h2>
      <p>
        This div also has a width of 50%. Resize the window
         to grow and shrink the div from max to min width.<br />
        <br />
        The outer div controls the width of the inner "content" div.
         Note that the div height increases to accommodate the flow of text.
      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>

</html>
