The example below will set the minimum width of the "example-div" element to 200px. It works in all major browsers (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Chrome, Safari etc.).
<style>
.example-div
{
min-width:200px;
width:auto !important;
width:200px;
}
</style>
<div class="example-div"></div>
A similar css code can be used also to set a minimum height of a div, just width should be replaced with height then -
min-height:200px;
height:auto !important;
height:200px;
