However, because Internet Explorer versions 6 and 7 do not support min-width and max-width attributes, use of JavaScript is required to ensure that the design works correctly on all browsers ( Fulciniti, 2005 Jesse, 2007a, 2007b). Implementing such a design is possible by setting min-width and max-width style rules. Then design pages so that they remain at a fixed width below and above the minimum and the maximum browser window widths, respectively, and adjust to the browser window size between them. Identify the minimum and the maximum design widths based on the target users’ screen resolutions and design needs. In addition, it allows designers reasonable control over a page's visual appearance. This helps satisfy the needs of users with either lower or higher screen resolutions. It works as a liquid-width layout between a range of browser window widths and as a fixed-width layout above and below those widths. Progressive layout offers benefits of both liquid- and fixed-width layouts. The maximum width of this design is set at 850 pixels. This example shows a progressive layout with a fixed width below 540 pixels of browser width (a), liquid between 5 pixels of browser width (b), and fixed over 1024 pixels of browser width (c).
