How can I enforce wrapping the html content for a fixed width using CSS inside Body Tag?

In my HTML document, I want to enforce fixed layout (250px width).

Would you please help me with a CSS snippet that can be used within a body tag so that the html content will be wrapped after a fixed width ?

For example, 

<body style="width: 250px">

This snippet is working in Firefox perfectly, but it is not working in Internet Explorer. Is there any universal technique that will enforce the fixed width for all browsers ?

Solution

  • It won't work in IE if you have it in Quirks Mode. Make sure you have a <!DOCTYPE> and it should work fine.
