Question

I currently have:

<div class="generic-block-70">
    <div class="generic-content-70">
        <table id="voteBlock">
            // stuff
    </table>
    </div>
</div>

However, seeing as the generic-block-70 and generic-content-70 do not have a set height and they expand vertically as text is added, I can’t simply set my table’s style to height: 100%;.

Is there a way around this?

Set overflow: auto; on your parent div.

.generic-content-70 {
    overflow: auto;
}
