Getting <div> 1px height on IE6?

For some reason IE6 does inserts a minimum default height of a div. I'm
trying to set a height:1px; which works fine on Mozilla.
Does anyone know how to get IE to display the same 1px div height?

..spacer {
height:1px;
background: lime;
margin-top:10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

<div class="spacer"> </div>

Set the line-height to 1px as well.

Or overflow:none - that will also do the trick

I have a problem displaying a divbox containing a html-textarea - everything works fine with "normal" characters. However, when the textarea contains special chars like <P> or ' , the box fails to show: function show(divbox) { divbox.style.display=''; } <div id="divbox" style="display:none" >

I have had great success with using <iframe> with overflow-y set to auto. I can get a similar look with the <iframe> tag. BUT... In all cases I need to have fixed heights. Is there a way to put either tag inside an HTML <TD> and have the same kind of scrolling effect. This would allow me to fill the screen and have the size of the scrolling box change on resize. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'm working on a new site that has a two column layout underneath a title bar. If you check out: http://www.christianleadership.org.uk/scratch/mainpage.php using IE or Opera you will see what I am after as these browsers work fine. However, in FF the results are slightly different - take a look and you'll see that the <p>, within <div class="mainContent"> has shot way over to the right.

Hi all, I've written code (in REXX) that takes files in legacy languages (PL/I, COBOL, z/OS assembler, etc) and converts them into HTML in a format similar to what's displayed in the z/OS ISPF editor.

However, the one error, Error Line 166,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
