Hi, Michael... I'm not sure how to answer all your questions, but I think That IE6 responds to "height" and FF2, and perhaps IE7, respond to "min-height"... try that and see what happens...

P.S. I subsequently found that: <style type="text/css"> html {background-color: green;} body {height: 100%; background-color: blue;} </style> DID display the body background-color in IE6 -- for the entire viewport (minus a default body margin) -- but not in Firefox 2.0. Is the attribute "height" only valid in IE6 Quirks mode, or is there some other reason for this discrepancy? I also found that when I used this style: <style type="text/css"> html {background-color: green;} body {background-color: blue;} </style> </head> <body> text</body> </html> -- that is, with no height: 100% given to the body -- that both browsers displayed the body background-color only as a narrow band behind the text. Thanks, again, for any tips/comments you'd care to share. - Michael Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo!
