Thanks all for the answers to this. I should probably briefly explain how I got into this pickle. I am using a low-end CMS called WebYep for this site. It works pretty well most of the time but I found on this site I had a problem. The CMS uses a loop to allow the user to build complex pages by selecting one or more out of a set of optional page components. Unfortunately the components you *don't* choose end up on the page too, as empty divs. I realised that while the empty divs took up no space in most browsers, in IE the ones that normally contained images showed a minimum height (around 10px). It looked as though the only way to get them to zero height was to style their content img elements rather the divs themselves. I'm afraid the list of hacks sort of appeared along the way as I was trying to give the empty divs layout (which I thought was the source of the problem). I will try to clean this up now - thanks for all the helpful suggestions.
