What is a good css template generator site? and min-width

I am using: http://www.csscreator.com/version2/pagelayout.php and choose
HTML 4.01 transitional as I think this means it will be supported by more
browsers. However in Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 MX it tells me that
'min-width' is not supported in IE 5.0-6.
Is this true?

Does anyone have or know a better css layout generator, that works great
across browsers and looks good in the Macromedia Dreamweaver 2004 MX
designer so 'what I see is what I get?'

thanks,

You're confusing HTML with CSS.

To be more specific I am trying to use CSS in my website and am having
difficulty knowing which each options means what before I generate the CSS
template and what browsers each option supports

E.g.: Strict, transitional... the options are there.

What option would you choose, if you want to support 4+ browsers (And
firefox) and CSS?
And the follow-up - What option would you choose, if you want to support 5+
browsers (And Firefox) and CSS?

thanks for any advice,

By default, browsers ignore what they don't recognize. Therefore, you don't
"choose an option" to support a browser or not. Various doctypes may affect
the way a browser renders things -- see http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/ -- I
guess this is what you actually ask.

as you probably guessed: support for css and html specs increases with
increasing browser version. when you start using css you make the choice
of leaving behind some legacy browsers. at the moment only css1 is well
supported, css2 or 2.1 is only partly included.

min-width is part of css2 (i think).

my simple guideline:
ie5+: use css1 (see w3c for the specs) you got a good chance that things
are supported. need some hacks for IE occasionally.
ie4+: stay away from padding and margin (quirks)

in any case, test your site to see what works and what doesnt.

ps. i think you better learn css in stead of looking for some css generator.

Re min-height, IE does not support it.
