Hello i have a problem but not a major issue, so far it its my only real hold up in making my site cross compatible.

css min-height just does nothing in IE is there a simple solution. I have googled the issue but nothing has worked. thanks you
 
The easy solution:

Code:
yourSelector {
   min-height: 20px;
   _height: 20px;
}

Obviously, you can break out the _height into a < IE7 style sheet (using conditional comments) to stop validation issues.

Basically, IE6 and below treat "height" as "min-height" - UNLESS you have overflow set to hidden.

Hope this helps,
Dan
