Div div div div div div div div div div div div div div div

So, I have 2 divs. First one is a container, second one contains some content. When I write in the one with content, they both expand - however the container is going to be a bit taller/higher than the one with content: BUT I need the one with content to be 100% of the height of the first container.

Example:

I want to second, smaller div to be 100% of the height of the container, so there is no gap where the red arrow is.

I will buy the first person to give me the correct code 1 month donator, whatever colour they choose (SMS ones only).

Thanks.

Post your code please.

There's a hacky way round it, but I don't like that. The best thing to do is give the container a background image that repeat-y 's for both of them. That makes it look like both boxes are expanding downwards together, even though they are not.

Well could somebody give me whatever would be needed from scratch? What I have at the moment is very big, jumbled at ugly. If it could be explained as two simple divs (like in the picture) I'd appreciate it.

<div id="wrap">
<div id="left">
Left Content
</div>

<div id="right">
Right Content
</div>

<div class="clear"></div>
</div>




#wrap
{
width: 800px;
background: url(background.png) repeat-y;
}

#left
{
float: left;
width: 600px;
}

#right
{
float: right;
width: 200px;
}

.clear
{
clear: both;
}


Then background.png would be a 600px wide box next to a 200px wide box. As both content boxes (left and right) expand downwards, the #wrap also expands downwards, thus extending the wrap background, making it look as if both boxes are expanding together. Understand?

Ah I see, I understand what you mean, took me 10 minutes to get it. I'll give that a try and see how it comes out. So the background is an 800px wide image, the first 600px are clear (as I want the first box clear) and the next lot are dark (as I want them dark).

[MattFr]

Yep, you got it.

Bingo, it works! Excellent! Sent you a visitor message regarding donator!
