Height of parent container
Never give exact height value for upper container because in case of overflow you can get undesired effects.
If you write overflow: visible rule, then if content overflows the container it’ll expand this container in IE, but in Mozilla and Opera will overlap to the nearest container. Instead write:
overflow: auto;
and don’t show the height at all. Then in all browsers you’ll get the same expanding effect.
If you give exact size of height, you’ll get hidden effect with overflow: auto; rule in all browsers.
Remember:
overflow: auto; and no height results expand effect
overflow: auto; and given exact height means overflow: hidden;
