Okay, what is the correct way to do the following then:
Have containers sized so that the entirety of their contents are
visible.
I have a template that I change the content of. I want the object it
is in display the entire template contents.
And so on up the tree of containers till I get to the dynapi.document.
Basically, I have templates and other objects that change as the user
interacts with the page. I want the entire content to be visible to
the user.
