Hi John, Your basic problem is that you don't have an absolute height for anything in there.
Any percentage of zero is zero and, depending on which browser you use, you will get an override/default of some sort. Another problem is that the bodyPanel doesn't have any content, and some browsers won't show empty divs (although they will probably show a div that contains an empty div that isn't being shown - still with me? :-) Ian http://examples.roughian.com 2008/10/17 JohnMudd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > I have a large application and deep in the nested panels there's a > problem where a panel size doesn't seem to obey the requested size. > It works as expected up to the size of bodyPanel.
