Help with relative height of divs


ChaosKnight

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I have a parent div and a child div, the parent div is only for the "prettiness" and the child div will contain the content of the page. I haven't ever attempted such a UI, so it may seem obvious to you, but it is still very new for me... I want the parent div's height to be relative to the child div's height, so let's say the child div's height is 250px, then I want the parent div to be 290px (20 at the top and 20 at the bottom...

 

I tried leaving out the child div's height, and filled it with content, and then I set the parent div's padding to 20px and left out it's height, but that didn't quite work.... Any ideas?
