I have some divs whose position in relation to each other is critical, but which I need to have flexible as a group in relation to other items on the page. I have placed them with absolute positioning within a div which has a relative positioning attribute. This works fine with one exception. I would like it if these divs caused the outer div to expand as they expand. It would also be useful in another similar case to have the containing div act as a limit on the divs it contains. Esssentially I am wanting the inner divs to see the container as barrier to either expand or stay within.
This isn't the case. The inside divs simply expand past the borders of the containing div, neither expanding it nor being limited by it. Text, and <p> tags cause the container to expand, or course. I presume this has something to do with the positioning attributes. I think I need the absolute attribute for the inner divs to retain their relationship with each other. Is there someone who can help me figure out what to do to achieve what I am trying to do?
