IE6 CSS bug?

[jemminger]

hi all,

check this out in IE6:

<div style=&quot;border:1px solid black;height:50%;&quot;>I should be 50% tall!</div>

works fine in IE5, NS6 & Mozilla. anyone know of a workaround?

Hi,

What's the problem? In IE 6.0.2600, it looks 50% of the window to me!

Bye.

I also looks fine in IE6 for me too.

You should be aware that browsers calculate percentages differently, some take it as 50% of the paretn while others take it as 50% of the window, not sure which does what!

I wouldn't use height unless you need to!

Be aware also that if you specify a pixel size it will look differently in IE5. In most browsers the border width will ADD to the specified width but in IE5x PC it will put the border inside the specified width! (and also height of course)
