Question

This is my situation

HTML

<div id="content">
    <div id="item1">
        <div class="empty">&nbsp;</div>
        <div class="empty">&nbsp;</div>
        <div class="empty">&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
    <div id="item2">
        <div class="empty">&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS

.empty
{
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
    background-color: red;
}

#item1
{
    float: left;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: green;
}

#item2
{
    float: left;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: blue;
}

#content
{
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: pink;
    overflow: hidden;
}

This looks that http://jsfiddle.net/59qEt/3/

So my question is: How I must set my styles to #item2 has the same height which #item1 have?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use display:table-cell property for this. and remove float:left write like this:

#item1, #item2
{
    display:table-cell;
}

Note it’s work till IE8 & above.
