@mattrognstad though i did find a closer solution with position:static or inherit but it’s still not quite right… still tinkering
@mattrognstad i just refuse to believe that since ’06, there is no css for an absolute child element to tell the parent what height it s/b
i made sure to listen to “cinco de mayo” by liz phair on my way to work this morning.
@kcollierwise i prefer nerdy pants, thank you 😉 cc: @mattrognstad

- more css help needed: how do i get a position:absolute element to adjust the height of its position:relative parent container? #
- moved to a new cube at work! i have a lot of crap to put away. #
- i don't think i'll be able to get any work done until i finish moving in. my cube shui is out of wack. #
- maybe i need a plant. #cubeshui #
- @bertine i did not – about to tweet again… i'm stumped! 🙁 in reply to bertine #
- this is exactly my css problem at the moment: http://www.alistapart.com/comments/flexiblelayouts/P0/#7 #
- my css problem: 2 cols, 1 absolute, but either col needs to determine container height. http://flic.kr/p/9EDdYD #
- if css were ice cream, that would explain my headache. i'm fixing it with beemster wasabi cheese. #
- @mattrognstad trying a flexible layout, so prefer positioning to floating. side column's & container's height are variable by client in reply to mattrognstad #
- @bertine i could float the side column, but i dislike how the html code would have to layout (w/o css) for that (links before content) in reply to bertine #
- @bertine all of 'em 😉 we're not too concerned yet with phone browsers, but using a flexible design to get ourselves a little closer in reply to bertine #
- i'm pretty sure i'm going to dream about absolute positioning all night. #hazardsofthejob #
- @stefsull i'm imagining many little green men chanting "em" as they try to move unmoveable walls… 🙂 in reply to stefsull #
- @bertine i believe so, though kaiya and i are more concerned about ie7+ in reply to bertine #
- trying to make css my bitch but i may need a javascript henchman #
- the last time i used my ipod was on a road trip = volume at full blast. i just plugged it into my ears. hello, i'm deaf now. #ow #
- css geniuses: a postion:absolute element relates just fine to it's postion:relative parent, but a postion:fixed does not. help? #
- also, i'm going to go write "position" 100 times for my cut-and-pasted typo. #
- now that glee is over, i don't know what to do with myself. #
- @INukeYou no, just for the evening. in reply to INukeYou #
- i guess i'll watch tim mahoney on the voice, minneapolis: represent! #
- @B_Knowles yup, but he's on team, uh, adam? i don't watch this show usually in reply to B_Knowles #
