If the height is left empty Views Rotator will attempt to detect the height. Enter a height as auto or a value in px or em to specify a height via CSS.

How does views rotator detect the height when it's left empty? I'm using this setting because I kind of need the flexibility and it's almost working but not quite... please have a look at the second box on the right on dev3.cai.org. It looks good but after about 3 changes a node appears which sits over the heading of the item below it.

I might add that on IE7 the headings seem to be losing their boldness when the change happens. Sorry to stick another issue in here but while you're looking at the site anyway...

Title: Auto container height » Heading loses boldness when nodes are rotating

Wait - I figured it out... I had a heading in there that wasn't being counted in the height. So don't worry about that. However I do still have the last issue mentioned above - on IE7 the headings lose their boldness during the switch. It's not a nice effect. Any idea why this might happen?

What OS are you on? XP or Vista? Are you using cleartype on your display?

Vista. No but I tried turning it on and it didn't change anything. I had a closer look and noticed the text changes too. What appears to be happening is that all the pixels go into a binary state during the transition - i.e. on or off. The anti-aliasing is disabled during the transition.

Do you have a custom theme function for the view?

Can you provide a working link to the page? I need to see the problem in action to look further.
