I am having a problem with some div’s
The outer div has a min-height, but the inner divs are all varying heights. Because the inner divs are absolute positioned, they do not affect the outer divs height. Is there a way to make these inner divs affect the height of the outer div?
The reason I am styling these divs with position:absolute is so that they all start at the top of the container div.
As far as I know, there’s no way for absolutely positioned child elements to affect the height of their statically, or relatively positioned parent elements using only CSS. Either:
This issue is common in fade-in/fade-out JavaScript slideshows, and from what I’ve seen either 1) the height of the parent container needs to be defined or 2) the parent container’s height is set dynamically for each slide.
