 * I am using the MX4 theme and the max-width css tag associated with an image is
   not working with IE…
 * Is there a work around someone has found?
 * Thanks
 * this is what i have in my header.php:
    <style> entry img {width:expression(if(
   this.clientWidth>300)this.width=300);} </style>
 * and this is in my css:
    .entry img { background-color: #ffffff; border: 1px solid#
   dddddd; /*-moz-border-radius:5px;*/ padding: 4px; max-width: 334px; }

 * Unfortunately, IE just doesn’t support some properties. One of those is max-width.
   Another is clip, as I discovered. Not much can be done about it.

 * Check out [RJO](http://rjohara.net/server/css-figures-captions/) for some examples
   of what’s possible without having IE support for max-width.
 * There is also a special script language that MS uses called ‘expression’ that
   fits into your CSS. I used it a few years ago for a situation similar to yours.
   I think it’s just a way to pass on a javascript command to CSS. Unfortunately,
   I can’t find that little code snippet anymore. It worked like a charm though.

 * There’s also a javascript: minmax.js. Works great, if you want it let me know
   and post an email, I’ll send it to you.
