http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d is an excellent resource.

However to answer the question. You can give a height and width to the outer
div. There are also numerous kludges available. I'll need to know what
you're trying to do to give a more precise answer.

  Subject: [OT] How do you make a <DIV> take up space?

  Sorry for the non CF question here, but can't seem to figure out a way to
  ask this question hat google understands.  I have read several CSS books
and
  none seem to tell me how to make a DIV take up space inside another DIV.

  For example:
  <DIV id="outer">
      <DIV id=inner">
      This should make the "outer div take up space on the screen as well">
      </DIV>
  </DIV>

  If the 'inner' div is positioned absolutely the 'outer' div is drawn as if
  there were nothing in it. Can someone clue me in on how to make DIV that
are
  positioned absolutely but encompassed by other divs?
