Question

I have a div on a page that I need to put content into. Sometimes the content is a few lines high, and sometimes the content is more than the screen height with varying sizes in between.

There is content below the div so I need that content to be pushed down appropriately, so the content below is always right below the div.

Basically, it looks as follows:

<div id="MainContentArea"><!-- my content --></div>

<div id="BottomContentArea"><!-- pre-existing content --></div>

It’s easy for me to specify a height for the #MainContentArea but I want the height to be adjusted dynamically. Can somebody please show me how to do this? Thanks.

Resizing vertically to fit the content is the expected behavior. If you have specified floats somewhere in your css you may need to clear them:

<div style="clear:both;"></div>
