[css-d] Growing a section vertically...

2009-08-07 Thread Michael Beaudoin 
I have a test where I would like to get the colored section this page  
to grow as the copy gets larger.

Right now I have a set height, and I know that's not the way to do it,  
but I can't seem to get it to get larger vertically.

You can see the page at http://www.ba-doyn.com/junk/saw/adults.htm.

Be kind. :-)

Thanks,
Michael

If you want the content to expand the section, then why do you have a
specified height?  Just remove that...

Google 'css containing floats'.

#body-adult {
overflow: auto;
height: auto;  /* -- actually just remove the height you set */
}
