CSS div alignment

[DaveC426913]

Maybe this is the right forum...


I have a div nested inside another div. The inner div is position: absolute; right: 20px.

Problem is, my inner div is *taller* than my outer div *wants* to be - the inner div hangs off the bottom edge of the outerdiv. How can I get my outer div to expand to contain the inner div?

Hi

This would be better answered in forum215 ( HTML, XHTML & CSS ).

When you set the [tt]position[/tt] for an element, thet will be raised from the document into a separate layer. So it will not interfere directly anymore with elements outside it. So the other elements will not be sized/positioned according to that element's properties.

But you can still hope that I am wrong...
