IE doesn't understand that the div is empty, so it adds line-height. Add a comment inside it, and IE will come to its senses... ---------------------------------------------------- This red div below should be 1px / 100% <div id="stubbornbox" style=""><!-- --></div> ---------------------------------------------------- ...and such a comment won't disturb even if you add some real content later - and you can take the comment out then. --- Note that Holly's 'overflow: hidden' actually works as 'max-height' - preventing the div from ever growing taller than 1px no matter how much content you put into it. So, that solution won't work well in a real page. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
