Best bet is JavaScript, unfortunately. I've worked up an example that
should work in IE 4+ using JavaScript and Gecko-based browsers using
max-width. Feel free to scalp.

Basically detects the page width, if its greater than 800 the container
is given a style of 800px, otherwise it's set to 100%.

Unfortunately, it is...
