Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem
I have been using the background on html for some time on various sites
because of this problem. I don't know if standards allows it but it
works in all browsers.

Hi ,
I found my IE7 will show the bug on its first load, but any refresh
afterwards will load with the body/colour covering the entire window.
(covering the window with another window will also remove the
whitespace.)
A quick check with the IE7 developer toolbar shows the body
stretching only as far as the content.
If would suggest setting a background colour for the html.
btw the toolbar declares body hasLayout = -1

Hi Christian,
I don't see this behavior in ie7 WinXP Pro
But I think you should be able to fix what you describe by giving
layout to
some element in there.
Did you try: body {zoom:1}
Couldn't see this issue on my IE7 too (are you using a beta?). Thierry
is right, the element needs to be given layout.

Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem
Thanks for the help everyone.
I tried adding the background to HTML but that did not fix the problem.
What did work was that I added:
html, body { height:100%; }
to the stylesheet.
The whole thing is a bit weird though since I have never seen this
happen on another site, but it definitely seems like a hasLayout
issue. I think I removed hasLayout on the body by applying 0 padding
and margin and that's why I had to set the height to 100% to get it
back.

Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem
Apply the background to the html element. Not sure if this fits in with standards but it works.

Be very careful about overusing hasLayout. It's not something that
should just be gratuitously used everywhere you think there's a bug,
particularly when you can't actually see a bug. If used carelessly,
hasLayout has the potential to cause more problems than it actually solves.
Hacks should always be a last resort, not something you turn to at the
first sign of a bug. It's always better if you can resolve the issue at
source, instead of throwing random hacks at it until it's patched.

Re: [WSG] IE 7 body length problem
The concept of 'Has Layout' is not a hack, its part of IE's rendering
model... It happens to be something that is outside of the CSS
standard - that doesn't make it a hack.
Microsoft developers decided that elements should be able to acquire
a property (in an object-oriented programming sense) they referred
to as hasLayout, which is set to true when this rendering concept
takes effect.
Besides, if one is worried about validating CSS (which they should
be), it can be dealt with by using conditional mark-up just like any
other IE bollocks. :)

I don't think anybody suggested to do such things.
FWIW: a width or a height could fix the issue as well, but IMO if it is a
fix it is a hack.
As a side note, I prefer to use zoom to give layout to an element over
other properties as it clearly indicates in the stylesheet the reason why it
is there; for the same reason, if I was using width for example, I'd go
with *width...
