I know this list isn't particularly keen on conceptual problems but I have this notion that I can't conceive of without overflow on a containing element which then comes round to bite me in the face.
I have my two columns, navigation and content, side by side. The nav is meant to extend to however long the content is. I have achieved this by using the padding-bottom:(massive); margin-bottom:-(massive); and overflow:hidden; technique. However my navigation has a two-layer deep UL system whereby the site's main sections are listed downwards on the left hand of the nav column, and any li's deeper ul is absolutely positioned to just to the right of it, so my submenu drops down. I have only just realised I am in deed trouble because when my submenu gets large it will simply extend into nowhere. I'm under the impression that position:absolute within an overflow:hidden; are nails in both feet. I'm wondering if anyone's ever succeeded in this - I'm certain it must have been done at some point, both techniques (flyout submenus and extending faux-table-cell columns) are so common... Or am I chasing an impossible (or just ultra risky) dream?
