[jQuery] Set height of an empty div dynamically in IE6 using jQuery

[jQuery] Set height of an empty div dynamically in IE6 using jQuery


Hi
I'm new to jQuery but i'm finding it exciting to work with.. and i'm
stuck in a problem.
The problem is that i've a div, initially empty. Now i want to set its
height to, say 400px (in fact it is based on the content that i
retrieve from a page using ajax request). i simply do
$('#initially_empty_div').height( the_height );
or
$('#initially_empty_div').css('height', the_height );
Both of above methods work in Firefox and IE 7, but in IE6.
Any help will be more than to appreciate for.
Thanks in Advance :)
