<br>- else, if the CSS min-width property is specified on the html element, the margin-box of the page at that width (which may have overflow)<br>- else, the smallest width the page can have without horizontal scrolling<br>
</div>and the intrinsic height of the document is:<br>- if the CSS height or min-height property are set, similar to above, <br>- else, the smallest height the page can have at the intrinsic width of the document without vertical scrolling
