Question

Is it possible to render empty `

` with CSS in xHTML strict 1.0 without setting width and height in absolute values and not adding ` ` inside? Targets are IE7-8, FF 3.x Can I somehow render empty div if I want it to get 50% width and variable height?

Accepted Answer

Add some padding to the `DIV` so that even if there is absolutely nothing between the opening and the closing tags, you still see something. ```
