sidebar height

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 05.2007

Hello,

I’m new to laying out with css and one thing seems to come up here and there. I make a container div. I then have a sidebar div floated left and a content div. The sidebar would have a colored background.. my question is, how do I make the sidebar div grow in height as content is added to the content div with out giving the sidebar div a height? or am I doing this wrong all together?

@CentauriDec 05.2007 — In terms of the site [B]content[/B], having a container higher than the content within doesn't make much sense. Whilst [B]visually[/B] it may look good, in practical terms not easy to do. The easiest way is to provide a repeating background on the containing element to make it [B][I]look[/I][/B] like all columns go full height - the faux columns method.
