Div Height

[AntonioMainenti]

For some reason, when I'm trying to write a div that has a height of 1 (or some other small number), it shows up on the screen as having a height of 20. What I want to do is simply make a little black box using the div tag. So I was wondering how I would make this work.

Thanks, Alan.

Maybe use style="border: 1px solid black" ???

That produces a <hr> type thing, and when I adjust the width to 1, it changes the height to 20...

Hi Antonio...

Post the code that you are using so that we can see what exactly may be causing this problem (something definitely doesn't sound right... that's for sure).

I adjust my <div> height all the time... and yet I continue to remain 5'6"...

<div style="position:relative; width:5; height:6; overflow:hidden; float:left; background-color:black;"></div>

Not absolutely certain, but try changing the word relative to Absolute:

<div style="position:absolute ; width:5; height:6; overflow:hidden; float:left; background-color:black;"></div>

Maybe that helps...? :)
Tried this in my HTML editor then IE and seems to work..?

Hi Jerry...

absolute and relative will both work...
it just depends on how it is being used within the overall structure of the page.

And by the way, I was originally baffled at Dave Clark's tiny little box (5x6). I was like.. "huh?".
Now I get it (very creative).

not as tiny as that box! ...
