height, min-height ie7

hzgt9b

Background:
I have a page with some divs containing text. The divs need to be a
minimum height of 100px. When the text inside a div overflows the div
should grow (down the page) as needed. Text should be centered...

Problems
1. height vs min-height across browsers...
I was able to get a partial solution using child selectors to get
aroud the min-height problem in <=IE6, latest firefox, NN and Opera
but not in IE7. Can someone help me with the CSS?

2. text-align:center...
Works in IE browsers but does not center the text on my page when
displayed in FF, NN and Opera... should I be using align:center as a
table attribute?

Ok, I cleaned up my errors - note that the remaining (10) errors out
of my control as they are inserted automatically by my host.

Got it - I played around with a couple of hacks ("*", "!important" +
child selectors) until I got this to work...

No time to look deeply at this but there is a lot about centering
all over the show.

I know there is something up at:

<http://netweaver.com.au/alt/shrinkTo...teringShrinkTo
Fit.html>

You might find this informative in some way.

Take a look at something more comprehensive:

Just by the way, it is customary t ask here, no intrusive
rudeness meant, are you laying out tabular data?
