CSS Property: height

Specifies the height of a block box (not including padding, border or margin). Note: IE will treat height similarly to min-height - content will push the height of a box higher if it does not fit in the specified height. Note: Internet Explorer 5.x will interpret the height as being inclusive of padding. Accommodating IE 5.x can be achieved by using the box model hack.
