What does that mean? You want to give a height:0 to the parent
element? I don't get it...
Holly Bergevin's hack is described in detail here:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=2&cid=C37E0
The intention of this hack is not to give whatever height to the
container, but to let the block gain "layout". "Layout" can only be
described roughly as a IE-Win proprietary undocumented concept to
establish a rectangular rendering entity that is responsible for drawing
its own content.
Explorer's "dimensional" bugs are related to the presence or absence of
"layout": http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html
Note: I don't know if this hack fixes the bug in tee's page, it does on
a local simplified copy, though.
You mentioned the dependence on some characters more or less, and I can
confirm this. Sometimes these characters more or less shift the wrapping
of the content just by some microns, i.e. lines do not end with
italicised content, or the wrapping content next to a float leaves a
single line blank near to the last "bottom line" of the float, and so
on. Or a tight fitting of the related containers induces more problems
like duplicated last characters.
Would be interesting to see your minimalized bug test page.
