min-height on MSIE

[Warren Post]

I need to set a minimum height for div.content at:

<http://www.cafecopan.com/dev/20050612/index.en.html>

I do this at line 30 of my CSS using min-height:

<http://www.cafecopan.com/dev/20050612/home.css>

It works fine in Opera 7.53 and Mozilla 1.6, but MSIE 6.0 seems to ignore
it. The result is that at small font sizes, the popup images overlap the
footer. Any ideas of what I am doing wrong, or alternatively how I can
work around this issue?

All other comments on the page are welcome, BTW. The links don´t yet work
and the client needs to pass me some better images, I know, but aside
from that let me know what you think. This work in progress will
eventually replace the nonvalidating, tables based code now online at:

min-height doesn't work for IE6

You could add a zero-width <div> element with a fixed height and float it to
the left.

MSIE 6.0 seems to ignore it.

IE's overflow behavior is broken, so it actually treats the "height"
property the same way other browsers treat min-height.

You could exploit this bug, but be cautious about it. They might
actually fix the next version of IE. Or not. ;)

Alternately, float the image left rather than positioning it like you
did. Apply the clear property on the footer and everything will fall
into place by itself, no explicit (min-)height required.
