No, you're right about the combination of height and min-height, but I was merely referring to each of those properties when used independently (which they usually are, or should be most of the time). So, IE will treat a div with "height: 500px;" the same as other browsers treat a div with "min-height: 500px;". It treats height exactly like min-height. But yes, if you start combining properties, you can't always get IE to emulate what better browsers will do. > Now I've engaged brain here I think I may need to join your mission to > squash sloppy thinking on this one ;-) [hangs head in shame...] No shame, but I would appreciate the backup on my mission. ;-) Zoe -- Zoe M.
