Max and Min height in IE6

Hi

I'd like this to work in IE6:

#outerWrapper {
      float:left;
      margin: 0 auto 0 0;
      max-width: 1280px;
      min-width:1005px;
      min-height:400px;
      height:auto;
}

I have tried adding this to my IE css file with no luck. Could somebody explain the problem please?
Thanks

#outerWrapper {
      width:expression((document.documentElement.clientWidth < 1005) ? "985px" : "auto");
      width:expression((document.documentElement.clientWidth > 1280) ? "1260px" : "auto");}

Note: the width is -20px for the IE scroll bar.

Sorry, the title should be max and min width. I don't care about the height.

I don't think you can have both expressions. The second one will overwrite the first one, so you will never have 985px...

For example, you could try to nest one expression like this:

width: expression((document.documentElement.clientWidth < 1005) ? "985px" :
(( document.documentElement.clientWidth > 1280 ) ? "1260px" : "auto"));

Hi TName
Well it's weird but it seems to have started working in IE now after other unrelated amendments.
But I take your points on board and that makes sense. I will keep a hold of what you've written in case it stops again.
Thanks
