minimal width property does not work in internet explorer 8

Question

I have a question, is min-width supported by Internet Explorer 8? I tried it, and it seems that it does not work.

Any suggestions?

min-width is supported in IE8 - you'll need to provide more details as to the nature of your problem — kinakuta, Mar 25 '14 at 15:48

min-width is supported by IE7 and higher.

Make sure you aren't emulating older versions of IE by including a Doctype that won't trigger quirks mode.

Wouldn't it have been better to just close this question as a dupe? You even [commented on the other question saying the same thing](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2356525/css-min-width-in-ie6-7-and-8#comment2330766_2356525) – Bojangles Mar 25 '14 at 15:50

@Bojangles — Oddly enough, I didn't remember a comment I made over three years ago. – Quentin Mar 25 '14 at 15:54
No, but I assumed you would've looked up any existing posts answering the OP's question before posting this answer – Bojangles Mar 25 '14 at 15:54
@Bojangles — Since that question is concerned about IE6, it isn't a dupe anyway. – Quentin Mar 25 '14 at 15:55

It's about IE7 and IE8, too – Bojangles Mar 25 '14 at 15:57
@Bojangles — And the answers are mostly concerned with hacking it to work on IE6. – Quentin Mar 25 '14 at 15:59

This looks like a duplicate:

Did you set <!DOCTYPE html> (or some other doctype)? Not doing so causes the browser to operate in quirks mode, which may be causing your problem.
