CSS overflow character not pushing down <div>
- by Uncle Toby
I have a <div> called bigbox which contain a <div>called wrapper . The wrapper contain 2 <div> called textbox and checkbox. If the characters inside textbox overflow , it doesn't push the other wrapper below . How can I make the below wrapper go down ?
