<h2 id="Summary" name="Summary">Sumário</h2>

<p>A propriedade <code>min-height</code> do CSS é usado para definir a altura mínima de um determinado elemento. Ele impede que o valor usado da propriedade {{ Cssxref("height") }} se torne menor que o valor especificado para min-height.<br>
 O valor de  {{ Cssxref("min-height") }} substitui os dois {{ Cssxref("max-height") }} e {{ Cssxref("height") }}.</p>

<h3 id="Notas">Notas</h3>

<p>[1] CSS 2.1 explicitly leaves the behavior of <code>min-height </code>with {{ HTMLElement("table") }} undefined. Therefore any behavior is CSS2.1-compliant; newer CSS specifications may define this behavior, so Web developers shouldn't rely on a specific one now.</p>

<p>[2] Due to bug ({{bug("307866")}}) Firefox doesn't hande <code>min-height</code> on elements with <code>display: table-*</code>.</p>
