I had to rule out overflow: hidden as this box sometimes has content, so needed a flexible height range from 1+px. The suggestion to insert a comment did what I needed, but it seemed unintuitive and prone to error/confusion. So I opted to add an extra .empty class instead in the end - to make it explicit what was going on.
This was for a optional footer on a portlet container where the footer div was used to complete the chrome around the portlet, but may not always have any content. thanks, Sam On 10/8/06, Holly Bergevin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: "sam foster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > I have this div, > >that I want to give a minimum height of 1px.
