how to use auto with a height in css

Question

How would you use auto height? I need the hight to be 250px default the auto is working but i cant get a default hight.

Answer 1

Perhaps min-height is what you are looking for ?

Answer 2

Maybe min-height ?

As Brian Scott rightly said, min-height is not implemented in IE6, so you could use a JavaScript expression (see this blog article).

* html div#mydiv { 
   height: expression( this.scrollHeight > 249 ? "250px" : "auto" ); 
}

div#mydiv {
  min-height: 250px;
}
