I have a <div> that is used to determine the vertical space required by an arbitrary text string. By default, the height of the <div> box grows to accommodate the text, including wrapped lines, etc.
If I increase the font size of the contained text, the <div> height will grow nicely as required.
However, not the other direction. If I reduce the font size, the <div> offsetHeight maintains a high-water-mark value.
True for Firefox and Chrome at least.
Is there a strategy for coercing the browser to adjust downwards?
