Hi All,

This is a CSS question in asp.net.
I have a page which is surrounded by container div. This contains contenthome div, with flashhome div inside it.
Container and contenthome height property is set to auto. But when I increase flashhome height, container and contenthome height is not changed accordingly. How can I achieve autoincrease and decrease of container and contenthome heights depending on flashhome height.

CSS

#container {
    width: 750px;
    height: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    position: relative;
    border:1px;
    border-color: #b7b7b7;
    border-style: solid;
}
#contentHome {
    width: 750px;
    height: auto;
    position: relative;
    display: block;
    overflow: hidden;
}
#flashHome {
    float: left;
    display: block;
    width:485px;
    height: 255px;
    margin-left: 15px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

Thanks.

Where do you use those styles? Please make some pure HTML sample, as simple as possible using this CSS and showing the problem.
