div height:100% of div height:auto?

[soap]

Anybody ever figure this out?

For instance:

blah


blah


blah

Obviously that isn’t going to work but how do you MAKE it work? :P

In other words(image), how do you achieve THIS:
click me!!!11

If you actually want the wrapping div to be visible – say like you have a background you need to display – then you can do it like this:

blah


blah


blah

If you are talking about making the div 100% to the inside of actual wrapping div and that wrapping div being dynamic – you’re best doing that with a little Javascript : )

Last time i tried with Javascript, the only idea I got was to find the height of the div but since it’s auto I always got undefined back. Is this the case?

EDIT: Ummm nevermind, I’m stupid..

[soap]

$(".article_img").load(function () {

var aheight = $("#a").css("height");

alert(aheight);

});

Works great. :)

If you can use JavaScript, that’s great. Otherwise there are lots of fancy CSS solutions. Try googling up “Equal Height Columns”
