I didn't looked at the code so won't comment on their mechanics, but I use % widths combined with max-width and negative margins all the time. -- Berg

Anybody try it? Have opinions? <q>In other words, if the parent element is 0px wide and its child is always 700px wider than its parent, that child element cannot ever be narrower than 700px. When negative margins are applied to both sides of the widthless nested child, the effect is to widen that child element in both directions, causing it to appear wider than its parent!.</q> Holly sh**... Some people are just having way too much free time in their hands - and no clue how to spare it productively. The problem of min-width / min-height is solved a thousand of so years ago: use 1x1 transparent gif with wspace and hspace set to what you need.
