Div refuses to change its size

This question has been resolved

To achieve the desired layout, I adjusted the position of two children elements to 'absolute' since they will not change in size. I then repositioned the other children whose sizes remain constant to the top. Finally, I moved the last child element up slightly so that it overlaps while still allowing the parent container to resize.

Answer №1

When elements are absolutely positioned, they do not contribute to the size of their parent element. This means that any changes to the number or dimensions of the children will not impact the overall size of the parent container.

If you require the parent container to adjust its size based on the content within it, both the container and its children must be floated.
