I'd use a conditional comment[1] and give IE6 and below a different
style sheet with height in it.

or you could use this recent hack...

http://www.dustindiaz.com/min-height-fast-hack/

or:

use a child selector (which IE6 and below don't understand) like this:

div#wrapper{
height: 500px;
min-height: 500px;
}

html>body div#wrapper{
height: auto;
}


so IE6 sees height 500px

all other good browsers see it, and the min-height and have the fixed
height over-ridden by the height:auto.


I prefer CC's but you have a choice...
