Stretch to fit, but DON'T shrink setting

[jaywhy13]

Is there a setting that I can set for my html elements like a table where i like set the threshold width... say for example 770 px but if the user's browser is bigger it will stretch to fit however if the browser's width goes below 770 the tabl retains it 770 px width

I guess setting a percentage would be the best option? That way it would fit in all resolutions. Not many people (if any?!) will have less than a 770px width anyway.

An example of what I'm looking for is found on http://www.excite.com. I have 1024x768 and it will fit to that. If i resize it to below 1024 it will continue to fit the screen but the width will never go below about the 770px region... how do I do that?

whatever {
 min-width: 770px;
 }

Minimum width is the lowest width you assign to something. Give it to the body or a wrapper div for the effect you're looking for.

BTW, it only works in standards-compliant browsers. (no IE)
