I have been recently designing some content which needs to be side by side and have the height automatically resize, but the height doesn’t resize. The div doesn’t expand to the size of the items inside of it. Is there a way to allow the div to expand to the size of the elements inside of it?
CSS
* {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
body {
font-family: 'Metrophobic', sans-serif;
background-color: #c5c5c5;
background-image: url('../images/noise.png');
}
#container {
width:900px;
background-color: #dbdbdb;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
margin-bottom: 20px;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px black;
}
.center_align {

margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
#header {

#menu {

Looks like the problem is that the
#footerelement isn’t properly cleared. Addclear: both;to#footer. This pushes the cleared element below the floated elements, and should functionally result in the same visual fix.
