autostrech div

[MJB3K]

Hi, is there anyway you can make a div stretch 100% height of the div its inside?

e.g.

say i have a div called pagecell and in that i have two divs. one called nav and one called content.

When the content expands downwards, how would you make the nav div stretch down to stay the same height as the content div??

Any ideas??


Regards,

Martin

To answer the question you asked, it's easy: just give the <div> [tt]height:100%[/tt] and it will stretch as required.

However, I'm guessing that you're using either floats or absolute positioning to get these two divs side-by-side. Doing either will take one or both divs (depending on just what you're doing) out of the document flow, meaning that you can't determine height like that.

Take a look at
