Question

Hey, how can i set a default container height on a element?

My example have a div like this:

<div id="container">
text text
</div>

Then i want the height default at 300px; so it gets large even with only this text^.

With DEFAULT i mean also, that if the text exceeds 300px the height should just be bigger like there isnt specified a height.

Try using min-height:

#container {
    min-height: 300px;
}

JS Fiddle demo, this features extra css (for aesthetic purposes), but the important part is still the min-height declaration.
