Hi, I've been struggling with this problem..
There is a wrapper div and it contains 3 vertical column divs with full of texts,
and this wrapper div has red
background color so that it can be a
background of
the entire texts.
<div id="content_wrapper">
<div id="cside_a">
// massive texts goes here
</div>
... // two more columns go here.
</div>
And here is the CSS code for them.
#content_wrapper
{
background-color:#DB0A00;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
min-height:400px;
}
#cside_a, #cside_b, #cside_c
{
float: left;
width: 33%;
}
And this code gives me a
background that covers only 400px height box..
My expectation was the wrapper div automatically resizes depending on the
size of the divs in it.
Somehow putting "overflow:hidden" with wrapper CSS code makes everything work fine.
I have no idea why "overflow:hidden" works.. shouldn't this hide all the overflowed texts..?
Could anyone explain me why?
Is is the correct way to do it anyway?
