  Thanks for the reply, I inserted a 1x1 transparent gif shimmy, and set the
bar to 10px height, since I insert an image that's 10px in height, in that
<div> with the background rule, but no effect.

<snip>
...................

<div id="bar1">
<img src="images/x.gif" width="1" height="10" alt="" />
</div>

...................
</snip>

It still has it at 20px height. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Peace be with you.

IE displays this behaviour with empty divs. Insert a 1x1 shim image and
it'll display as you expect.

HTH,
