HI,

How do I create 2 absolute divs positioned on top of each other (content/base) that will re-align when content is added.

ie content div will contain variable data. In some instances, when too much info, it will overlay my base div. I wish to prevent this with out using relative.

cheers

repositioning divs

Hi numbenator,
Sounds like you would need to use JavaScript to calculate the height of the div and adjust their positions from that value.

Have you tried using relative position?

Hope that helps

Well you could nest the absolutes inside a relative Smile

No class, little style and a lotta division.
