just a confirmation about the flow of the elements

[plx]

Hello everybody,

if you want a div to expand itself and have as the same dimension as the its absolutely positioned children,
the only way is to calculate the area of the container by extracting offsetwidth + offsetleft and offsetheight + offsetleft of the contained children.

Is it true ?

Example:

item01


item02

Is it possible to have div#container’s offsetWidth and offsetHeight (120 and 70 px) automatically calculated by the browser ?

Thanks for your help.
Regards, plx.
