Creating a CSS style for a div element that adjusts its height

I'm facing an issue with the expanding content within my #main (or) #panel div, which was obtained from a template. When the content expands, it goes below the page and becomes hidden...

Is there a way to ensure that my main div expands along with the content?

CSS

#main
{
    position: relative;
    overflow: hidden;
}

I have some JS/Ajax scripts that adjust the page size when switching pages, could they be causing this issue...?

You can view a live demo here! (Click on the (i) button) The divs expand upon clicking.

It has worked occasionally on another computer but seems very random...

Let me know if you need the scripts or additional code. Basically, everything is enclosed within .main -> .panel

Simply put: Expand the main div's height to accommodate the expanded content.

.panel
{
    position: relative;
    display: table-cell;
    width:100px; 
    vertical-align:middle; 
}

Answer №1

The issue lies within the class panel, not the main div.

.panel {
padding: 3.5em 2.5em 3.5em 2.5em;
position: absolute; // This line is causing trouble
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 45em;
}

Another problem arises here.

#me .pic img {
position: relative; // Causing issues
display: block;
height: 100%;
}

Despite my debugging efforts, it seems the elements are not behaving as desired at times.

Please let me know if this information is helpful in any way, and feel free to seek assistance with further debugging.

EDIT

Your issue may stem from a Script responsible for resizing the main div when displaying hidden content. Ensuring that the script functions correctly should adjust the page layout accordingly.

If you can provide the specific script involved, I would be able to identify the root cause more accurately.

Answer №2

In the event that you are wondering how to adjust the height of your main div based on its contents, simply delete the overflow: hidden; rule from the css class.
