IE7 min-height and padding.
Posted on 2006-11-05
When I set a min-height for the content div, IE7 gets weird and messes up my padding.

Hi reesespeices072,
I understand the min-height problem has been fixed in ie7, so your hacks for that should be in a stylesheet with:
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="IEbugs.css" type="text/css" />
According to the conditional comment this is Internet Explorer lower or equal to IE6
<![endif]-->
If you are using other hacks for IE7 you may want to put them in another stylesheet with a conditional comment for that particular version of IE.

It is my understanding that IE7 does fix min-height. Before it did not act how it should, and now it does in IE7. That is not my problem. min-height works how it should, it just messes up my padding as its working.
I already knew about the conditional comments and I had fixed the problem, but I find using a whole new css just for IE is painful and it doesn't seem that professional to me, I'd rather use a hack inside the css I already have.

Please note the conditional comment I suggested is different from the one you have. Yours addresses ALL IE browsers (including IE7), my comment addresses IE6 and below. I have called some other experts to take a look at your question though.
