The proper display of the background color requires the use of position:absolute

While crafting a website using HTML and CSS3, I've run into a little trouble with nesting divs within each other and utilizing absolute positioning. Incorporating position:absolute allows me to specify the background color of the div and manage the elements inside it. However, it removes the div from the DOM, leading to other challenges such as setting a footer. How can I ensure all the elements within my #content div are properly aligned, the height adjusts automatically, and the background color remains consistent?
