It is certainly possible to set a minimum height. Just specify min-height: [length]. You can separately set the height to auto. This works in most modern browsers.

Naturally, however, this does not work in IE/Win. However, IE will (incorrectly) expand a DIV to fit its contents, regardless of what you specify as the height. So, if you don't mind using hacks (see the Wiki), you can set the min-height, and then feed a height value only to IE/Win. That should make IE do what you want, too.

But then Ie will set a fixed height for this div. If the layer is containing some text that will be resized over this fixed height, this text will jump off the box... Right ?
