To answer your question, yes. I use min- and max-width on all my pages. The script pr0gr4mm3r refers to is about the only way to get it to work in IE 6, although I don't bother as it is dying a slow and painful death.

Screen size is a bit of a red herring, though. By no means everyone uses "full screen" windows, and I don't even know how to get full screen on my Mac. You really have no idea of what window size your visitors use.

Mobile devices are getting popular, too. While mobile use for Internet is small, it is growing at a rate of 34% p.a. in Europe. I also see several people every day using iPhones for surfing here in California. So I think you are on the right lines, as Megan indicates.

BTW - It's not a bug in IE 6 - it is just one of many things lacking. Heck, it does not even support all of HTML.

This article suggests that css expressions for IE adversely affect performance and the necessary control can be better implemented with "real" JavaScript.

If I'm doing a flexible layout (and there are cases where this is the best solution). I'll definitely use min- and max-width. This helps to prevent the layout from completely falling apart if the screen width gets too wide or too narrow.

It's a good balance between accommodating user preferences and maintaining some design control.

I rarely use min and max

I rarely use min and max width.

I generally build for the display chosen by the designer, and check to make sure the site is viewable/usable in 1024x768. I do not bother with smaller resolutions.

That covers about 96% of the viewers, the others are probably used to dealing with it.

There are workarounds for achieving the same solution in IE6. Here is one example from this page:

#content {
	width: expression(document.body.clientWidth < 742? "740px" : document.body.clientWidth > 1202? "1200px" : "auto");
	min-width: 740px;
	max-width: 1200px;
}
