I have following HTML+CSS markup:
<div id="protofade" style="position: relative;">
<div style="position: absolute;"><img src="slide-01.jpg"></div>
<div style="position: absolute;"><img src="slide-02.jpg"></div>
<div style="position: absolute;"><img src="slide-03.jpg"></div>
</div>
Notice that the slides are absolute-positioned inside a relative-positioned element so that the top-left corners of all slides are aligned together. All slides are equal height, but the height is not pre-determined hence this problem: the "protofade" div does not have a height. Is there any CSS trick that can make this div as tall as the first slide without explicitly specifying height: NNpx
