This article will solve your problem. Apply the hack to your main container http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html Andrew. Thanks guys for the responses. I have tried clear:both and still nothing happens. So I have decided to scrap all the unwanted styles and get this section by itself. I have created a new page: http://www.hotshot.com.au/dev/fpaa/DEVELOPMENT/float.htm I have the bare minimum to test and I have got the float to expand to the contents length. But now my problem is the "contentRight". No matter what I do I am unable to have both columns sitting parallel to each other. If I do get them to sit parallel, then the containing div disappears. :-( Cheers, Jeffery http://leftjustified.net/ ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

[WSG] expand divs height with content
Hi all, I am trying to get a Div to expand its height when the content grows. Site development url is http://www.hotshot.com.au/dev/fpaa/ As you can see the middle colum has some extra content and it is not forcing the increase of the height of the parent div which is This is the sequence of the divs: So in my case when content grows within the "content" block, I want "bodyWrapper" to grow in height too. Anyone have suggestions? cheers, Jeffery ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

Re: [WSG] xforms
Ted Drake wrote: From what I've learned, In the future, xforms will be supported natively in the browser. However, we don't have that support now, so we can get a middleware that will transform the xform into something viewable. Mozquito transforms it into a flash-like file. CHENG transforms an xform into a series of divs and uses id's and classes to make the elements work. I have made the recommendation to my company to hold off on xforms for at least a year. We don't need bleeding edge technology and I'm hoping the browsers will support it in about a year. Unfortunately, I think the ball is resting in Microsoft's hands. When IE supports xforms, we will see the xform transformation begin. However, I'm no xform xpert and could be passing on a well meaning but incorrect opinion.

Just this place is a bit backward in adopting the technology. anyway the solution of increasing the height of the div won't help as I need to keep the div the same height and keep the image kinda "hanging" over the header.
