the simple answer to this, Olajide , is to use the overflow property. in the divs, set overflow: visible perhaps.
google search "css overflow" for more information. the less simple answer is - why is there a height set in the first place? I have a sneaking suspicion that you may be taking a less than ideal approach to your construction of this site. Perhaps it would do you good to scour the web for some nice examples of standards-compliant sites that are doing what you want your site to do, and then study their code.
