simple problem ( I hope)

I have a div:

This div shows up as a line about 10-20px thick in IE 6??? …works fine in any other browser

any tips would be appreciated,..thanks..

    setting

    overflow: hidden;
    

    to .break should solve the problem.

    IE just reserves minimal space for content (the space reserved equals line-height or font-size set for this elements – don’t remember exactly). In all other browsers, if there isn’t enough space, the content flows out of the container. IE stretches the container. So, setting the overflow to hidden solves the problem.
