We define a new canonical height pairing on the rational points of elliptic
curves over global function fields which takes values in the multiplicative
group of a completion of the function field. This height serves as an analogue
of both the classical Neron-Tate height and analytic p-adic heights. Our main
result is that under some general hypotheses this pairing is non-degenerate.
