Naive Amoeba Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi,I have a website that will have a min-height of 100%, and stretch if the text is more than that. In IE, however, it doesn't allow min-height (as many CSS developers know). I tried using this hack: min-height: 100%;height: auto;_height: 100%; But it doesn't work in IE, although using _height: ***px does. I don't want an absolute value though, as I'd like it to stretch like it does in good ol' firefox.Any ideas?Thanks a lot,Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hmm, never seen _height used before, but I know that you can use *height, and other browsers will skip the css, while IE will output it. Unless _height does the same, and the problem is with the percentage thing...So, try usingheight: auto;*height: 100%; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naive Amoeba Posted November 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just tried that, comes out with the same thing.. so i'm guessing * and _ are the same.Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nago Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 for IE, whatever element you're using, make the same element in your css sheet, like.. .main { height:100%; }.main { height:expression(document.body.clientHeight + "px"); } the second one will only be parsed by windows MSIE, although it will make your CSS not w3 standard. any other non-msie browser will just read the first one. MSIE will see the second and use that value instead.Also, I could never get "height=100%" to work in firefox without any additional text after it. Are you a warlock?
