Trying to make a div wrapper inherit the height of my nested content div
OK basically I'm trying to get my wrapper div to grow with the height of my content div. My goal is to get something like this http://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/
My site is centered horizontally. I'm using a wrapper div to center the site.
#wrapper {
position:relative;
width:1116px;
height:auto;
margin-top:0px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}
I then have a content div that is the main portion of the page.
I want my site to have a small border image that surounds it like in the example link. I Know have to make a header and footer with the background image of my border. But I need help with the sides. I can make left and right border divs to contain the image using background-repeat or I can make a image that is as wide as my site and transparent with both ends have my 20px wide border and set as the background of my wrapper.
In either Idea I need to get the border div(s) to grow with the height of the content div. I can do this perfectly if I have a fixed height like I do width. But this site needs to change its content dynamically and therefore the height changes.
This seems to be a popular design but I just needs a some help or samples of how its being done.
Thanks
Chris
