Min-height and max-height are used for constraining an element. If an
object in the element is smaller than min-height, then the element's
height will be min-height. On the other hand, if the object is bigger than
the element, the max-height will determine the element's height. That's
what should happen, where the browsers actually do this is another story.
My understand is that 'min-height' isn't really supported by most
browsers. Or only partially supported. I could be wrong because I haven't
checked this on one of those browser compatibility charts, but I've never
been able to get IE to work with it. Personally I steer clear of it for
the time being.
