Automatic Sizing of DIVs

[Bryan]

Hello all,

I'm using innerHTML to add html content to a div on my site. I have
tabs along the top of a div that is outlined with a line. When a tab
is selected, html data is inserted into the div depending on what tab
it was. Data for some tabs has more height than others... is there a
way to make the div's height auto adjust to the html?

As a side note, I noticed that in one of my tabs I used a table in the
html and the div resized to the table height. Are there any other
containers (such as a span maybe) that DIVs will auto-resize for?

Thanks!

Yes, set height: auto on the div, which is the default anyway.

It's not clear why you're getting the reported problem, unless you're
inadvertently setting the height on the div somewhere.

I'd suspect absolute positioning of the div content, but that's just a
guess. Hard to say without a URL.
