CSS question ?

[David Muir]

Hi, As far as im aware you can just add the following to your css code. Not 100% sure as its been a while since i did web development, but i dont think this can be set in IE. div { max-height: 1000px; overflow: auto; } Many thanks, TF

Thank you DJ. I tested it. But it wasn't thing that I wanted. :(

You can do it with Javascript: function setHeight(id) //id is the ID of the div { var d = document.getElementById(id); d.style.position = "absolute"; d.style.height = document.body.clientHeight; } --Perspx

Thank you. I tested your function, but it just return zero (0) :confused:

function setHeight()
{
var d = document.getElementById('main');
d.style.position = "absolute";
d.style.height = document.body.clientHeight;
alert(document.body.clientHeight);
}

Sorry, misread your question, thought you meant set a maximum height on the div rather than div to maximum height of window. html { height: 100%; } body { min-height: 100%; height: 100%; } div { height: 100%; min-height: 100%; } (div would be given name of your div) This might work, again not 100% sure.

It should work.. I tested it in Opera and IE. Where are you calling the function from? Because in IE it's a bit awkward, I think you have to call it on the onLoad() handler or after it or something.. --Perspx

I tested in FF3 and IE6. I call it on the onLoad handler.

[Mohammad Dayyan]

Wow. thank you very much. but it doesn't work in IE6. :(

[David Muir]

sadly cant test in ie6, dont have it installed, only ie7 :( it does however work fine in ie7 if thats any help :) TF

[Mohammad Dayyan]

However thank you my friend.

You can also use document.body.offsetHeight, however this will only return the browser client height if there is no vertical scrolling on the page, and if you dont want the DIV to be larger than the client height of the browser just assign this to a variable on the onLoad handler and use it afterwards? Also, try out IE 7 - document.body.clientHeight worked fine for me there. Hope this helps, --Perspx
