I am quite new to CSS and HTML so please excuse the noobness.

What I am trying to do is to get the main area of my website to resize according to the amount of text it contains in it. I have searched and searched, but have been unable to find suitable answers. One thing I have tried is putting each of the ‘sections’ into a table, but I could not get it to work.

Any help is greatly appreciated thanks!

Here is the HTML:

<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="main"><p>Content</p><p>Content</p><p>Content</p><p>Content</p></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>

Here is the CSS:

#header {
    background: url(images/bg_pages.png) repeat-x;
    min-height: 973px;
    min-width: 1680px;  

}

#main {
    background:#fff;    
    min-height: 100px;
    min-width: 1680px;

}

#footer {
    background:url(images/footer_pages.png);
    min-height: 51px;
    min-width: 1680px;

}
