min-width:40em; works for most browsers.
For IE you'll need tricks to do it.

That's a funny statement.

IE *is* most browsers, like it or not.

No, IE is not most browsers.
IE may have the largest amount of installations/users, but it only is
4 browsers. (Counting MacIE5.2, WinIE5, 5.5 and 6).
Now count Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror, Lynx, Icab,
and all the other ones I can't think of right now.

IE is not a Web browser.

Correct, it's a bug

OP was not likely meaning to be literal. It is a sort of American speak, and
frankly I thought he put his point well and more succinctly than to spell it
out in literal terms. What he is saying is just one step removed from the
literal-and-true. He saying something true, relevant but no, not literal.

proprietary expression() as the CSS property value:

width: expression((document.documentElement.clientWidth < 700?700 :
document.documentElement.clientWidth) + "px");

So horribly-broken products magically become all right when the
millennium (century? decade?) changes?

No, Microsoft bashing is just childish and immature at best...

No one here has bashed Microsoft. Some of us have been criticizing one
of its most broken products, Internet Explorer.

Sorry. Let me start again.

I love IE! I love screwless computer cases! I love Firestone tires! I'm
not childish, and I know it because I love every broken product ever
invented!

"IE is not a browser"
"No it is a bug"

Apparently we have a different view over what bashing is. If you have a
complaint with IE (and there are many, I only use it when the site will
not work right with FF) then mention them. Saying "IE is not a browser"
or "IE is a bug" is, in my opinion, bashing.

browser:
2. a computer program used for accessing sites or information on a
network (as the World Wide Web)

Can IE access XML file? No. Therefore it is not a browser, but a sub par
HTML renderer.

This is poor reasoning... See if you can spot the error.

Can Mozilla render PDF files natively? No. Therefor it is not a browser.

(XML isn't a core Web technology. The core parts of HTTP which IE
doesn't support are.)

Impossible. Would require a change ;)

No, IE is the most popular browser (but slipping). There are many
others that make up "most." Els was perfectly correct in his
statement.

Got any data to substantiate that?

Are you talking about installed base or usage frequency? Somewhat
realistic usage frequency figures can be gathered through web
statistics. I can't think of a way to even begin to figure out
statistics about installed browsers.

This one here, http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp
say the IE usage frequency is somewhere between 70 and 80 percent.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating IE. But this here forum is not
about which browser ist best, it's about how to make web sites that work
in the real world.

There's where I get my data from. As a web developer, unfortunately,
we should all be paying attention to those stats. I make every effort
to make sure that what I do is usable in the most popular browser as
well as other browsers.

You are absolutely correct. The poster that Els corrected brought up
the "best browser" issue IIRC. So, really, you should be ragging on me
for a "me too" post simply agreeing with Els rather than being off
topic. And so as to not start some silly flame war, no, I didn't
consider your post "ragging on me." :) But now that I think about it,
isn't *your* post off topic? ;)

And Els already got on me for referring to her as a he. ;)
