For the example it's pretty strait forward as the p will always stay below the 'set-minheight' div, no matter how much or how little content that div is given, and 'set-min-height' must just be styled tall enough to push the p to the bottom of the 'box' - if that's what you want. The 'box' must also be able to expand if the content in 'set-min-height' pushes it taller. If there's any problems with that, then other factors/styles are affecting the construction and we must see a live example. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

If I can't forsee how long the content will be, how do I decide the set the value of min-height? http://lotusseedsdesign.com/opera-test/mh.html The design is the fixed width, but even with fuild layout, it's a problem not knowing how tall the content be tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***

As you know, IE doesn't play ball when served CSS table - support = zero. In addition to that, Gecko can't A:P the p in a table-cell - real or styled, so you'll have to give those p their own rows with cells.

Well, Georg, actually it's already in a table but I was think it's more appropriate for div block with floated element and was going to get rid of table. It's a product grid view listing, and semantically, the p (a button) belongs to the content in the min-height section, so it's not really appropriate to make the p to a new td cell and I don't feel comfortable to do that just to achieve the visual effect. Right now the markup goes like this tddiv class=box div class=set-minheightcontent here/div pa line of text/p /div td Hi Tee, I wonder if you are trying to achieve something like this? - http://madeiraheights.com/meetings.html The minimum height in this case is 100% of the viewport - the fix footer to bottom solution.

Yes, this is the idea I have, but without testing it, I am not sure if it can practically works though because as my example shows, I have a row (rows) of column(s), so if one column has a much longer content than the others in the same row, I suspect at certain point the content in the min-height will overlap the p, just as I see in the above layout when I enlarge fontsize couple more times. tee *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
