I'm using Chris Coyier's full width hack on a site I am building, but stumped on how I can get the div to have the height of whatever it is containing.
Usually I would achieve this by adding overflow:auto to the container, but if I do that it breaks the hack. Is it possible to achieve a height and still use this hack?

Here is my CSS:
#content-wrap:before, #content-wrap:after {content: ""; position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; width: 9999px;}
#content-wrap:before {right: 100%;}
#content-wrap:after {left: 100%;}
#content-wrap, #content-wrap:before, #content-wrap:after {background:#666;}
#content-wrap {
position: relative;
width:1000px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:25px 0;
}
