i have something like

CSS:

.the_bottom {
background:url('./bottom_corners.gif') no-repeat bottom left;
width:400px;
height:9px;
padding:0px;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
}


HTML:
<div id="contain" style="position:relative">
<div class="the_bottom></div>
</div>


i have a height of 9px for the_bottom in everything but IE6, where it is about 20-30px

no other class is directly effecting it (there are no #contain div styles or anything of the sort)

any ideas why?

IE6 is pretty well known to do stuff like this

yeah i know, i just can usually find a workaround somewhere somewhat easily

this one i finally found after fooling around with it enough

it needed a font-size:1px; in there

and, as if by magic, it works

IE6 is probably wanting to put in a blank space in that <div> tag thus the reason that font-size:1px; works, typically a default 12px space is equal to ~20-30px

yeah, that could be too. put a border on your divs for a second to see where the space is

IE is a ....

also i've fixed a few things before with line-height, if you ever run into problems it's worth a shot
