The original poster has a row of blocks to which he assigned assigned 
height a  of 100px so that they would all be uniform. All well and good. 
Or is it?

In compliant browsers, when the fonts are scaled, the blocks do not 
expand vertically to contain the content when a /fixed/ height is set.

Consequently, it was suggested that he change it to *min-height: 100px;* 
for compliant browsers (enabling the blocks to expand vertically).

And further, that he feed the above hack to IE/6.0.

The reason for the hack is that IE/6.0 does not understand (does not 
support min-height), and the blocks would be of unequal height when 
landing on the page in that browser.
