The design is the fixed width, but even with fuild layout, it's a problem not knowing how tall the content be

Looks like you're trying to build a table with divs. Much better to use a real HTML table for that since none of the existing CSS solutions are
supported well enough to replicate one. 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
<td><div class="box">
        <div class="set-minheight">content here</div>
        <p>a 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. The "Adobe reader" paragraph is positioned
just above the footer with absolute positioning from the bottom in EMs.

Cordially,
David

David, thanks. 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.
