In need of some enlightenment here, I'm trying to get my wrapper div
to expand to accommodate height-wise, to whatever content is placed in
it, no luck yet and I realize it's probably something simple, I just
don't see it yet. I have the following:

What I'm trying to do is copy/paste the 3 inner divs with a <br />
after the 3rd but inside the wrapper, does this make sense?? Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
It would make sense, if you'd give the <br /style="clear:both;".
The thing is that floated elements don't extend their parent's height.
Personally, I use an empty div with one space inside, with the style
'clear:both;'. This gives me more power over the height of the
'clearing element', as I can't give a <br /any height or other
styling.
Be aware though, that this clearing element, also clears other floats
that may occur earlier in the page's code. So if you have a floated
sidebar for example, and the above mentioned wrapper div is inside the
content column of a page, the bottom of that wrappper div will extend
to below the bottom of the floated sidebar.
