Thanks for the replies I did the following using conditional comments for IE6 directly in the css: #insidecentre { <!--[if lt IE 7]> height: 592px; <![endif]--> min-height: 592px; display: block; border: 1px solid #ccc; width: 297px; float:left;}
it doesn't seem to alter the height in FF and IE8. Where am I going wrong?
