Question

I have this page layout:

<header> 
<content> 
<footer>

I have border-left and right applied to content, with min-height. BUT if the content is more than the min-height then the borders don’t re-adjust accordingly.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You probably have some floating elements inside your content block, so the content block is not adjusting because of lack of ‘real’ content. Try adding something like <br style="clear: both;" /> inside your content block after the rest of what’s inside it.
Or else, and perhaps even better, explain your problem with making a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/
