How to dynamically move divs in Dreamweaver

Hi

I am developing a site which you can find here:

http://www.greatfindcollectibles.com/

My question is the div that holds the menu can grow and shrink depending on how many items there are in the database. How can I make the divs Search and Mailing list move up and down depending on the height of the menu div?

Thanks

Set the position: relative; on the menu div. This makes the position of lower divs 'relative' to that one.

Unfortunately when I do that the auto height does not work

Set the position of the Mailing List and Search div to "relative" also (You will need to play with positioning abit).

Here, I played with the positioning -- try this in place of your current CSS:

<style type="text/css">
<!--

#container {
	background-color: #FFF;
	height: 900px;
	width: 870px;
	margin-right: auto;
	margin-left: auto;
	position: relative;
	text-align: left;
}
#body {
	text-align: center;
	background-color: #FFF;
}

	background-image: url(images/gradfill.jpg);
	background-color: #255980;
}
#Logo {
	position:absolute;
	left:6px;

}
#Categories {
	position:relative;
	left:8px;
