After hours spent trying to figure this out I've more or less given up and hope someone here can help me out. I've concluded that either DNN is not very user/admin friendly or I'm missing something glaringly obvious. My money is on it not being user friendly, but I'll explain my problem and see if anyone can help.

After trawling through pages and pages of out dated info (I installed version 4, and seem to be the only person on earth using it) I thought I'd managed to tame DNN into submission. It was doing more or less what I wanted and began to look like a viable solution to a .net CMS. I created my homepage skin and a couple of container skins to control the 'look'. One of these containers I called 'Header' and I applied some CSS to format the text within it. However, DNN had other ideas, the CSS formatting either half worked or didn't work at all. I'm pretty good at CSS and am fairly confident that simple font-size changes should be implemented. DNN said 'no' to changing font-size but was fine about changing the colour etc of the font.

So after changing the font-size in EVERY css file I could find (container level, portal level, default level and even my own skin.css level) and seeing nothing made any difference I gave up and sized the text through the CMS, which is a pretty poor solution but worked and I could live with it.

Then DNN began making my 'Header' container extra large for some reason, it extended the height a good 30 pixels or so above dnnActions control, for no reason. I had changed nothing, it just suddenly decided to resize it. And what's even more hilarious is that it is not consistant, so it's not like the height is hard coded somewhere.

So, long story short, I have many issues with DNN but for now my query is :

"How do I control the height of a container?"

Please help me before I kick my own teeth out.
