    Hey I just downloaded the perfect width template from this site and I found in the css for the #pagewrap div

    width:expression(document.body.clientWidth < 782? "780px" : document.body.clientWidth > 1262? "1260px" : "auto");

    I have never come across anything like in css what does it mean?

    Thanks for your help?

    It’s called a CSS expression. Google can give you a better explanation, but in short it’s a way to assign the result of a Javascript expression to a CSS attribute, rather than a static value.

    EDIT: if you need a literal explanation of the code itself, it is stating:

    if the body width is less than 782
    then set the width to 780
    else if the body width is greater than 1262
    then set the width to 1260
