Thanks for the reply.
Sorry but it still isn't clear to me. I'm a newbie to CSS.
What is the parents set height? Is that defined in CSS or in the web page
HTML?
What is the viewport?
I guess I need to dig into how the browser interacts with CSS to render
itself.
Do you have any good books, pointers or recommendations for that?
Regards,
bruce
