It's a question of expanding height. I have a couple of absolute boxes inside a relative one. The content inside the absolute boxes is dynamic; meaning, I don't know it's height. I also don't know the height of the relative box.
I'd like to enable the absolute box with the longest height to expand the relative box, and I have failed so far: http://geocities.ws/sweepslate/absolute-in-relative/index.html I resorted to absolute boxes because I want the sidebar to overlap the content area by some pixels. Here is an example of the result I'm trying to achieve: http://geocities.ws/sweepslate/absolute-in-relative/desired-result.png I am open to other routes than position:absolute to achieve this result. The limitations that I have are: 1. #items and #sidebar have a defined width but a dynamic height 2. #items has a dynamic number of floated items inside, #item1, #item2, etc, that define it's height PS1: Yes, I understand that scemantically, #wrapper, should wrap everything and not leave the footer out. PS2: Both, the markup and CSS validate. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
