I have two <fieldset> s inside a single div (nothing else), that are positioned

  • 0

I have two <fieldset>s inside a single div (nothing else), that are positioned next to eachother (positon: absolute, div is set to relative).

Is there any way to make these fieldsets both the same height without setting a fixed height?

I have some idea that maybe I can make both have a max height of the parent, and a min height of auto?

Also, would it then be possible to make the content of the fieldsets position centred vertically?

I’m not concerned if it works with IE, but needs to work on Firefox and Webkit, and if possible Opera.

Thanks

    You can put them in a parent container like a table or div, and have the two children be at height=100%.

    The only other two options are the ones you didn’t want, at a fixed height like height=59px, or you can do it via javascript.

    For the vertical positioning, you can stick them in a parent container like a table or div and then slap on there a vertical-align:center
