setting height

[Krisman]

I'm using a div tag as a news box and can't get its height constant in IE6. I haven't been able to check in anyother browsers.
This is my current code. Its outside of any other tags and theres no css on divisions in general (just another div class) so nothing else should be affecting it.

div.news {
background-color: transparent;
border: inset 3px #FF3399;
position: absolute;
top: 170px; left: 150px;
min-height: 200px;
max-height: 200px;
width: 300px;
scroll: auto; }

<div class="news">Lots of text was here to test height just text no HTML</div>

IE6 does not recognise min-height or max-height. It treats height as min-height.

So is there anyway in IE6 that will be valid css 2.01 and html 4.01 strict too make its height stay at 200px or will I have to go transitional.

If you set the height as well as overflow (hidden or auto) then it should stay at that.

Thanks, thats where I made my big mistake I put scroll instead of overflow I've done that a couple times and yet I keep doing it.

Thanks again.
