I have a unordered list that is populated by PHP and styled with CSS.

\<?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 in and needs to end at about 200 pixels in height. Is there a progamatical way to measure the height of the css area so PHP can pull out of the while loop so it stops displaying the information?
