What"s with it anyway? Div inside a div

am 13.08.2007 17:17:29 von greenflame

ok, so here's the deal.
I have a div, which is adjusted to 100% width and 100% height.
I have another div inside (which is relative to it)
Problem is that the outer div is adjusting to the height and width of
the inner div. It's driving me mad.
I tried to play with z-index, with overflow:hidden... nothing. maybe
you can help me.

(using windows xp, internet explorer if it matters)
Here's the code:

Try reversing the position attribute on bgwords and container, so that
bgwords is absolute and container is relative. Is that what you want?

Your code is not formally correct, you give little clue about
what you are trying to achieve (there is mainly text on the
browser window and that is that). Why do you think you need
absolute positioning?

So the text can flow outside the box when you increase your font size, of
course :-)
