hello,

i am experiencing a little problem w/ regards to IE & Firefox
compatibility (works as expected in firefox, doesnt in IE).

i have a container-div element, which contains 1 image, and 2 nested
div elements. the problem is, in IE the height of the container-div is
extended -- it makes itself as high as *all* elements w/i in, rather
than the fixed-height i have assigned in px.

easier to show. here is a dummied-down demo of the problem:

and here is an image of what IE is doing to my height:

.....can anyone help me figure this out? i want the container-div (the
baby-blue box) to be only "130px", as its defined in mh "profile.css"
file. how do i stop it from auto-sizing itself to the height of all its
nested content!??


thanks!
matt
