IE, 1px box height problem

Hello,

I am trying to set the height property of a simple CSS box model object and am running into a problem. The smallest box height I can get to render in IE is 8px! I checked the same page in Gecko and it renders the box with the proper height of 1px. Is this a known IE6 bug? Here is the test page:

[code]
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

Thanks Everyone,
Derek Basch

Seems only to occur if your div is the lone element on the page.

Not sure on the causes but, if you want a thin red line, why not try using a border on an element or even <gasp> an <hr> tag! ;)

Add:

font-size: 1px;

to override the default font size it's this that's causing the div to be 8-10px high..

Thanks Suzy! I thought it may have been something to do with font size.
