I have two divs, one inside another. The outter one is called #wrapper, while the inner one is called #pad.

Now #pad allows user input, and I have a javascript (jQuery) function that changes the content of #pad based on what the user input is. Sometimes, because of this function, #pad's content will cause the div to become more elongated than before. Now obviously I would wish for #wrapper to grow longer as well to accommodate this change in #pad's length. However, this does not occur.

#wrapper
{
    clear:both;
    padding-top:0.5em;
    /*padding-left:50px;*/
    height: 100%;
    background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
    -moz-border-radius: 20px 20px 0px 0px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 20px 20px 0px 0px;
    border-radius: 20px 20px 0px 0px;
}

#pad
{
    margin-top: 25px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px;
    border: solid 1px #DDD;
    margin-left:25px;
    padding-left:25px;
    margin-right:25px;
    padding-right:25px;
    margin-bottom:2em;
}

This is the javascript function:

function preview()
{
    var id1=$("#input1").val();
    var id2=$("#input2").val();
    var id3=$("#input3").val();
    var id4=$("#input4").val();
    var id5=$("#input5").val();

    if(id1!= null && id1!="")
    {
        if( $("#preview1").attr("src")!=id1)
        {
            $("#preview1").attr("src",id1);
            $("#preview1").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $("#preview1").attr("src","");
        $("#preview1").fadeOut("slow");
    }

    if(id2!= null && id2!="")
    {
        if( $("#preview2").attr("src")!=id2)
        {
            $("#preview2").attr("src",id2);
            $("#preview2").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $("#preview2").attr("src","");
        $("#preview2").fadeOut("slow");
    }

    if(id3!= null && id3!="")
    {
        if( $("#preview3").attr("src")!=id3)
        {
            $("#preview3").attr("src",id3);
            $("#preview3").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $("#preview3").attr("src","");
        $("#preview3").fadeOut("slow");
    }
    if(id4!= null && id4!="")
    {
        if( $("#preview4").attr("src")!=id4)
        {
            $("#preview4").attr("src",id4);
            $("#preview4").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $("#preview4").attr("src","");
        $("#preview4").fadeOut("slow");
    }
    if(id5!= null && id5!="")
    {
        if( $("#preview5").attr("src")!=id5)
        {
            $("#preview5").attr("src",id5);
            $("#preview5").fadeIn("slow");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        $("#preview5").attr("src","");
        $("#preview5").fadeOut("slow");
    }
    setTimeout("preview()",1000);
    $("#wrapper").attr("height",$(document).attr("height"));
}
