title: CSS Max-Width in IE8
body: <p>For my input, which can either have <code>classname="half"</code> or <code>"half.not-placeholder-value"</code>, Firebug shows both inputs to have a set, fixed width of <code>25em</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>input.half, input.half.not-placeholder-value {
      max-width: 25em;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Yet, according to Developer Tools, IE8 doesn't seem to use this particular <code>max-width</code> attribute. I say "doesn't seem to use" since Firefox's behavior differs with IE8 with respect to this attribute.</p>
  
  <p>But the MDN <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/max-width?redirectlocale=en-US&amp;redirectslug=CSS/max-width" rel="nofollow">docs</a> say that IE7 supports <code>max-width</code>. Am I missing something?</p>
