jQuery.support.minWidth

[Leonid Bayda <leonid.baida@…>]

It was necessary for me in my project to know does browser support minWidth or not. So I added this checking to $.support. It would be nice to see this feature in next release of jQuery.

/* jQuery.support.minWidth */
$(function() {
        var 
                table = document.createElement('table'),
                tr = table.appendChild(tr = document.createElement('tr')),
                td = tr.appendChild(td = document.createElement('td'));

        table.cellPadding = 0;
        table.cellSpacing = 0;

        td.innerHTML = '<div style="min-width: 150px;">';

        document.body.appendChild(table);

        $.support.minWidth = table.offsetWidth === 150;

        document.body.removeChild(table).style.display = "none";
        
        table = tr = td = null;
});

Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to contribute to the jQuery project by suggesting a new feature.

But I think this isn't going to be included in jQuery core. The docs for  jQuery.support already explain why.

While jQuery includes a number of properties, developers should feel free to add their own as their needs dictate. [...] Since jQuery requires these tests internally, they must be performed on every page load; for that reason this list is kept short and limited to features needed by jQuery itself.
