for the default text size (at least on my computer - i haven't changed
it), the background image (an expand/collapse arrow) displays fine
without the min-height rule.  i coded my header sizes in em, but the
background image is (of course) in pixels, so as long as someone
viewing the page sees the header size as 15px or more, it's not an
issue.  i wanted to make sure people with smaller font sizes (or dpi,
or whatever) could still see the whole arrow though, which is why i
added the rule.

what makes your suggestion of this site so ironic is that that's where
i went to see what the ie7 hasLayout triggers were to confirm that one
of my rules was giving (or not giving) my header hasLayout.  obviously
i should have keep reading.  :p

in my case i'll just break the min-height rule for ie7 by overriding
the minimum i set in my "for all browsers rule" with an ie7-specific
"auto".  in the rare case someone on ie7 will see a cutoff arrow,
they'll just have to live with it i guess.  fortunately i don't think
it will be a common situation at all.

thanks for the help philippe.  :)
