Css questions.

[behindthepipe]

Im from a table background, and beginning to learn CSS.

I have a container div and another div called divB.
I then place divB inside the container.

Now I keep adding text to divB, and theres a problem. the divB will stretch its width and go outside the container div boundary instead of going to a new line and wrap the text inside the divB box itself.

How do I fix this?
also, if I keep stretching the divB height with "<br/>",
how can I make the container stretch its height also to complement each other? thanks.

It is almost impossible to advise you without seeing the code. What you describe as wanted result should be happening but you must have something in your code preventing it. If you show us the code, we could identify what that is.

We'd need to see the CSS that affects the container div and divB. Put together a minimal HTML page that shows your problem (remove all unnecessary code from that page - just the bare essentials).

Having said that, here's my guess: Make sure that divB is not positioned absolutely.

Cheers,
