Prevent zoom in CDHTMLDialog (BHO on IE)

I have a CDHTMLDialog running in IE that has a fixed size that I chose, and runs in a fixed window to match this size.

Also, the user might use ctrl-+ or ctrl-- to cha...

Windows regions and transparency

I have a CDHTMLDialog in a BHO that I want to be partially transparent, in the sense that the transparent area changes according to the logic of the dialog.

Setting a 4px height on a div results in a ~12 pixel space in IE8

<div id="spacer"> </div> + #spacer { height: 4px; } Firefox and Safari do it right, the space on screen is small. IE8 makes it bigger than 4px. WTF.
