Perhaps I'm using the wrong terminology. By "viewport" I'm refering to the area that is visible at any one time. Whatever it's called, it's more than reasonable to have the contents grown outside this area, maybe not horizontally, but definitely vertically as the contents change.
With this in mind, if you have to side-by-side divs, can you make them both grow together if the contents of one changes? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Goodchild" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Dave Rathnow" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 11:26 AM Subject: Re: [css-d] Can you dynamically resize divs? > If your content can grow outside the viewport you have a layout problem. > There are plenty of ways to ensure your content stays inside the viewport. > Using an elastic layout in which the layout scales according to font size > (ie all dimensions in ems) is a good approach, as is using max-width for > compliant browsers, and working around IE's shortcomings in this area.
