Div height:0px does not work?

Question

Setting a div height to 0px does not seem to work.

The div expands to show it

Answer 1

Try to also set line-height: 0;

And if you want to hide your div completely, use display: none;

Answer 2

Try overflow:hidden

Answer 3

You haven't said which browser you're using, but I'm assuming IE, as it's the only browser I know of which mistakes height for min-height . Like everyone else has already said, overflow:hidden; will work, or line-height: 0;, but you only need one of them.

Setting height: 0; will have allready triggered IEs hasLayout, so no need for zoom:1; in this case.

Answer 4

This works for me:

.zippy{
    padding: 0;
    height: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
}

Thanks.
