I'm trying to convert an expandable (I think you guys use the term
"fluid"?) table-based design to divs. One thing that's becoming a
problem for me is that some cells (now divs) contain fixed-size elements
such as images.

When I shrink the browser window size, the table based design shrinks
down as small as possible but never smaller than the size of an image
with a given cell. Making the window too small simple forces the user to
scroll but the layout still holds together.

The div based design, on the other hand, seems oblivious to the size of
the elements contained and divs will happily shrink so much that the
elements they're suppose to contain leak out onto other divs. So the
layout self-destructs at sufficiently small window sizes.

Is there any way to prevent this? Any way to make a div not shrink
smaller than the elements it contains, while still allowing it to expand
as needed?

-Steve
