I am trying to figure out why the HEIGHT <divtags on my page do not work

That URL is misspelled, it should be:

IE doesn't get one of the hideous [1] CSS positioning rules correct, you
can help it out be specifying html,body{height:100%}

[1] The people who designed the CSS positioning, collapsing margins and
the float rules crap should be shot, tarred, feathered and hung out to
dry (not necessarily in that order).

OK I put height 100% in body and it worked. Thanks.
