<div> problem....IE versus mozilla resize

[nowhere man]

I'm having a problem understanding what gives with the responses of the two
browsers.
Basically I have a <div> which is 10% in height. Or if you'd prefer, 100px
in height.
Either way makes no difference. Just to see what happens, I put in an image
that I know is greater than the height of the division.
IE appears to float the size of the division accordingly. While with
mozilla, the actual division container remains precisely the same and the
image appears out of bounds.
What's the proper remedy around this? Ok. I know you're gonna say use
thumbnails. But that's not the answer I am looking for. I just want to know
why mozilla refuses to contain the contents.

kind of found my own answer I think. If I include height as "100%" in the
img tag then it appears to show up as a thumbnail of sorts. Works just fine
in both, but in IE it has a blank line under the image.

Why the name change, Stoopid? Has alt.html already tired of you
already? That <div> sure is stumping your demo I see. Maybe you should
leave the demo's to people who know what they are doing?

Mozilla's behaviour is correct.

Solution: don't set the height for an element unless you *know* how high
the contents are going to be.

Did you really think the regs here wouldn't recognize your sockpuppet,
Bullis?

Not being an asshole to the regs would have been a start, Bullis.

Then why bother asking, St00pid?

I just want to know
why mozilla refuses to contain the contents.

Good news, Bullis. Maybe you and your socks won't be bothering people here
anymore.

Great sig, St00pid. Fits you to a T.

But Bullis has a right to be here and scream at the regs and ignore their
expert advice from behind as many sockpuppets as he can conjure. There's no
inexcretable evidence that Bullis is the only one with a <div> problem.
