css php logical check on a divs height

css php logical check on a divs height

CODE <?php while (have_posts()): the_post(); ?> <li class="date"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_time('F j, Y'); ?> <?php the_time('g:i a'); ?> </a></li> <li class="entry"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </a></li> <?php endwhile; ?> This list is vertical and needs to end at about 200 pixels in height. I can't control the height of each list item. Is there a progammatical way to measure the height of the css div area so PHP can pull out of the while loop so it stops displaying the information? I am thinking maybe some kind of if the div height < maxheight display the list item, else stop writing list items a pull out of the loop. Any pointers would be great.

So would I have to have Javascript find the y cooridinate? Or can PHP find it after each element is added?

Then you know specifically what height each will be.
