Hi there. We have recently launched http://verkehrsanwaelte.de . I've tested in several pc - browsers and on mac in IE and Safari. The problem in both is the lack support of min-height. I need the #container div to stretch on short sites to the bottom of the browser window. Anybody got an idea,

What I normally do when I want to use min-height is use a css hack to set a height for IE only. IE will treat the height property in the same way as min-height was meant to work. But you have to hide the set height from the other browsers that support min-height. HTH -Original Message-

Hi Here's my bit of advice. It's very likely that you will add another form to a web site in the future. For that reason, I'd remove the selectors and define a general form style, then add only the particular styles for that particular form. Do you really need to define your font families? Is the
