Div not expanding even with content inside
- by Aiden Ryan
I have a stack of divs inside of each other, all of which have an ID which specifies CSS only.
But for some reason the surrounding DIV tag only expands to it's anointed height value, and not it's default auto, meaning that although the content is inside, the backing DIV is only a specific height. I need it to adjust the heigh to the size of whatever is inside of it (As there will be user submitted data being echoed out possibly in paragraphs with 500+ words.)
Here is my HTML
<div id="albumhold">
<div id="albumpic">Pic here</div>
<div id="infohold">
<div id="albumhead">Name | Date</div>
<div id="albuminfo">Information</div>
</div>
And the CSS for the HTML code:
#albumhold {
width: 920px;
padding: 10px;
height: auto;
border: 1px solid #E1E1E1;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background-color: #E1E1E1;
background-image: url(../global-images/albumback.png);
background-position: top center;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
}
#albumpic {
display: block;
height: 110px;
width: 110px;
float: left;
border: 1px solid #000;
}
#infohold {
width: 800px;
background-color: #CCC;
float: right;
height: 20px;
}
#albumhead {
width: 800px;
height: 20px;
text-indent: 10px;
border: 1px solid #000;
color: #09F;
}
#albuminfo {
margin-top: 5px;
width: 800px;
float: right;
color: #09F;
word-wrap:break-word;
}
Help is greatly appreciated.
