Minimum browser width

Post by atostaine »

Is it possible to set a minimum width the user can set the browser? My customer likes to test different sizes on the desktop and they resize the browser. They think it should stop at a minimum size.

I see minimum width for table columns, but that doesn't stop the browser from resizing.

Hi Art

A website is just rendered HTML/CSS and some JavaScript being executed in a sandbox. There is no way that it can control the size of the browser, and rightfully so.

As far as VL is concerned, a browser on a phone running 320x480, is no different to a browser on the desktop with the same dimensions. The best that a developer can do is to build a properly responsive webpage that reacts to the constraints it's been given.
