No to your first question, but yes, your second observation is correct. Height is liquid based on content. If you put more content into something that has no explicit height declared, it will grow larger in height. Remove content and it grows smaller. Same thing applies when the content is resized, rather than changing in amount (eg, the font size is changed, the width is decreased so content has to re-wrap onto more lines, etc.) Now, if you explicitly declare a height, height no longer concerns itself with how much content there is (hence the reason why you should almost never declare a height). Percentage dimensions are based on the dimensions of their parent. >> http://www.belleartae.com/arrow/index.html >> It looks as though you are wanting to make that pink div stretch to fill the height of the viewport, correct? Here's a tutorial on how to do that: http://www.communitymx.com/abstract.cfm?cid=BAD95 I personally recommend not bothering with it, though. Letting the content dictate your height is sufficient in most cases, especially since most pages on most sites are longer than the viewport anyway.
