Hi
I'm following a tutorial at:
http://www.456bereastreet.com/lab/developing_with_web_standards/csslayout/2-
col/

Scroll down to the bit:
"3. On to the main containers"

and you will see the author uses min-width: 750px and he mentions that IE6
needs to be in standard mode for it to work.

Does IE 5.5 have a standard mode as well as a quirk mode?
I think IE5.0 and IE4.0 is always quirk regardless of doctype - is that
correct?

Is it really necessary for this tutorial to start using a property which
only works in some versions of IE in standard mode?

I was really enjoying this simple straight forward tutorial on how to
produce a nice simple straight forward 2 column layout but min-width has
muddied the waters for me. Any opinions and advice please.
