DIV inside DIV overflow issue

[Matt White]

I have a DIV inside another DIV that is overflowing outside of its
bounds. Can you take a look at my code and let me know what I can do
to get the containing DIV to expand dynamically so the inner DIV will
fit no matter how much stuff is in it? Right now the height is fixed
but removing the height attribute doesn't fix the problem. I don't
just want to set the height larger either, I want the DIV to grow as
needed. Thanks!

Post the URL to the real page, not a picture of it.

It's an internal app. If you save the two files (the css one is called
bds.css) you will see the error.

<div style="overflow: hidden">...<div>inner</div>...</div> might do you?

Are the inner divs floats?

You want us to study a stylesheet that has at least 1133 lines of
irrelevant code? When you *know* it's all irrelevant? And you can't be
bothered even to provide a real URL with valid code? Har!

It's an internal app. If you save the two files (the css one is called
bds.css) you will see the error.

And if we *don't* save the two files, maybe *you* will see the error.

I usually charge for that sort of work.

Well, for a start, provide a valid and full doctype. Validate your
code and don't use transitional or any flavor of XHTML (unless you
know what your doing and have a dam good reason for doing it).
Use HTML4.01 Strict.
Use only valid CSS.
