Later I need that element to go to a new height, which is just what
ever the size of the contained content inside that element is.
Bryan wants the size of the container to fit the content inside of it.
This is the definition of height:auto; which has always worked in IE...

Yes, IE supports height auto. But if you need it to match it's parent
container (and you're worried about height:auto)
$(el).setStyle('height', el.getParent().getStyle('height'));
or even:
$(el).setStyle('height', el.getParent().getSize().y);
or if you insist on items having their own variable:
var el = $(el);
var parentHeight = el.getParent().getSize().y;
// set height
el.setStyle('height', parentHeight);

Uhhh...since when has IE not had height: auto;??? I am almost 100%
sure this is supported in IE 6+. I guess I can really speak for
below
IE 6, I told those users to f*ck off long ago... :)

Bear in mind that IE has no notion of "auto" values, ergo it's not
a x-
browser solution – unless MT is automagically addressing this
problem.

Hi Guys,
I'm not sure if this is a bug, or maybe there is a better way, but
here is what I'm trying to to do. I have an element that has
had its
height set by using the Element.setStyle(). Later I need that
element
to go to a new height, which is just what ever the size of the
contained content inside that element is. I thought a good way
to do
it would be change the style from a specified height to 'inherit'.
This works fine in real browsers, but our special friend IE
throws an
error and says it doesn't know the property and throws and
exception.
Is there a better way to make that change or is this a bug?
Thanks
Bryan
