  • 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 #
