Browse All TopicsHello, I'm creating a site and wish to have the div grow and shrink according to the text size. I have built sites in such a way before however, I'm having an issue whereby some scrollbars appear in IE and when you increase the text size they also appear in FireFox. I think this is due to the "overflow:auto;" setting in the CSS (custom_campaign01.css). I've used this property before to make the container div grow and shrink as the content inside is floated... Any ideas people? Many thanks in advance! Here's the link: http://www.partnersandrews

Right that works a treat, thanks! However, the right-hand nav appears to sit 10 pixels over the container div it sits within. This happens to be the right of the whole document... I could float it left and set a margin however, the container div seems to increase it's width when the text size increases so the nav will not be at the right of the background... any ideas?

After the floated content, ad another div for clearing. This will force the containing div to expand past the floated content.
