I ran into a problem i just *know* I've seen described a 100 times before
I have an empty (so far) div with ist height: set to 100%. The main reason
for this div is to show its white border-right across the whole browser
window from top to bottom.
And so it does in FF, but IE shows only 1em's worth of it at the top of the
screen http://dagsunde.com/GaiaSoft/index.html
What it the trick to fool IE6 to render an empty div to the full height of
the window?
TIA...

100% of what? Its parent. How high is its parent? 1em I think :-)

100% of its parent, and its parent is <body>...
And body have another child that is 600px high, so body is at least
600px.
Which means, 100% of 600px, but it only shows as 1em high.
Firefox and Opera renders is as 100% of the client screen height
(which is what I want)

Okay, understood. But IE needs the height to be set specifically.
You could give html and body "height:100%;", but then the div won't
extend below the bottom of the screen, which you'll see when scrolling
the page up in IE.

I see...
I tried it, and you're quite right. It now shows up in IE too, but if I
fill up with more content it stops where the browsers client height was
when i start scrolling...
Is there really no way around this?
I can set it explicitly to pixels with javaScript, but that is such a
dirty hack...
Thank you, by the way... :-)

Not one that doesn't need a lot of hacking afaik. But since all you
want is a border that extends to the full length of your document, why
not wrap the page in a wrapper div, and set the right border to that
wrapper div? That way it's always as long as the page, and no hacks
are needed.
Thank you, by the way... :-)
You're welcome :-)
