Thank you Bootnic, I greatly appreciate this, saved me possibly a
lot of time trying to find this again. It is exactly where I read
it and it is in my bookmarks!

I have tested both the IE conditional and the "height:expression"
one in IE6 (but not 5) and both remove that slight kink and have
no side effects in at least Mac Safari, IE and Opera. As it
happens, my built in validator in my text editor passes the one
that you say will not validate, but other checks reveal
different. iCab face does not smile (it smiles only when html and
css is completely kosher) and just explains that "expression' is
an "unknown css property". I could live with this but probably
will go for the conditional. Hope this fix is not mucking up any
other browser (like IE7 ... my offline Winbox has not got this
yet).
