Ain't done any css for ages, but try setting the min height and width to a percentage. I'm not entity sure min-height is even supported on MSIE. Try googling fluid layouts/boxes etc.

can we see the full code? online preferably.

and like the guy said above, min-height isn't supported by ie. afaik height: 100%; should work but need to see the rest to know for sure
