[RESOLVED] DIVs and height - Rule of Thumb?

[Barton68]

If you using DIVs to give a tabular struture and using EMs for font sizing, is it best to give the DIVs a definitive height or let nature take it's course?

On certain browsers I get overflow's of text due to the expanding fonts.

Thanks.

I'd let the height do what it wants to.

If you give a specific height, then text can overflow out the bottom. A div without a height specified should expand vertically with content, unless that content is floated (which then takes it out of the document flow).

Brilliant, as I thought/assumed, let nature take it's course lol

Thank you again.
