[CSS] implementing Min-height in IE

[akronim]

i've found this useful hack to implement min-height proprety on IExplorer (which does not support it)

.box {
min-height:250px;
height: auto !important;
height: 250px;
}

explorer don't support min-height and !important, and uses hight as min-height
!important is used to overwrite the following  directive (height:200px)


so

explorer will read only height:200px
firefox will read only min-height:250px;  and height: auto !important, will overwrite height:200px

ok, so if I understand well, if our box is then 300, explorer will also increase, as it uses height as a min-height?

yes in this case

.box {
min-height:250px;
height: auto !important;
height: 250px;
}

both IE, firefox will expand the height of your box to 250px even if the content is 150 px height
