the min-height bug
November 11th, 2003
the newly released theme’s (read previous entry) tableless css layout has a bug. the layout doesn’t look the same under MSIE and Mozilla. The problem would be very easy to solve if i were to use a table. all i will have to do is set the height=”750″ in the table defintion. then if the content in the table is not long enough, it fills the rest of empty space. and if the content is too long, it stretches the table’s height. this maintains the minimum height of the table at 750px. we also take it for granted that this behavior is supported by all browsers. to accomplish the same task with pure css becomes a bit more interesting and esp. when you also want it to be supported by “all browsers” (meaning MSIE, mozilla & opera) ^_^ if you are interested in knowing how to do that in tableless css, read on.
