I am trying to build a two column header with minimum width of 1024px.

  • 0

I am trying to build a two column header with minimum width of 1024px. I would like the window to cut of the right side of the site when a viewer’s screen is smaller than 1024px, but I keep getting weird results, like the left side moving in. Thanks in advance.

    Try this

    CSS

    div.wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    min-width: 1024px;
}
div.one {
    width: 300px;
    float: left;
    height: 300px;
}
div.two {
    height: 300px;
}

    HTML

    <div class="wrapper">
    <div class="one">The left column</div>
    <div class="two">The right column</div>
</div>​
