Sorry, this isn't specifically related to PHP, but to an odd bug I
came across when testing some code inside IE7.
The problem is that IE7 freezes, but only when the following
conditions are met:
1. An image inside of a block-level container, A, where the image is
enlarged or shrunk by CSS to have a width of 100%, which makes it
stretch to fill the container.
2. The container, A, is floating and its "max-width" property
(unsupported in IE7) is emulated with the following property:
width: expression(
this.clientWidth > this.parentNode.clientWidth / 3 ?
"33%" :
"auto");
which basically has the effect of setting its max-width to 33% using
JavaScript. For more on the expression() function, look at
LINK
3. The container, A, is inside of another block-level container, B,
whose width is set by CSS.
Example code:
<style type="text/css">
..boundingbox {
width: 800px;
border: 1px dotted black;
}
..image {
float: right;
/** setting a maximum element width **/
/* for sensible browsers */
max-width: 33%;
/* for internet explorer
* note: this seems to be a bit buggy -- it seems to work, however,
if
* the image's bounding box is not given a width by CSS
*
* for more information on the "expression()" function, go to
* LINK
*/
width: expression(
this.clientWidth > this.parentNode.clientWidth / 3 ?
"33%" :
"auto");
}
/**
* make sure the images inside obey their parent's sizing rules
*/
..image img {
width: 100%;
}
</style>
<div class="boundingbox">
<div class="image"><img src="http://128.104.64.199/big_image.jpg"></
div>

Because comp.lang.html doesn't exist and I thought a bunch of PHP
hackers might be used to dealing with browsers' problems.
