vinod.kumar, could u give a code, maybe how u adding a footer inside the div.

dean, div is block-tag without specific propertys. google div ;-) Im from Russia, therefore i even dont know good site about html at english.

ok let's say i have a div tag called content and my css code is

#content {
width: 760px;
height: 500px;
background-color: yellow;
}

<div id="content">paragraphs of text go here </div>

ok now in internet explorer u don't have to give the div tag a height so it height it will auto resize the height of the tag to fit in all of my text, but it wont in firefox thats why i have to give it a height normally which gets really anoyeing.

do you know of any javascript that will auto make the div tag bigger when i insert stuff.

#my_div {background:#CCAACC;}

<div id = 'my_div'>Paragraph is here</div>
<input type="button" value="replace div content" onClick="document.getElementById('my_div').innerHTML = 'lorem ipsum dolor<br />lorem ipsum dolor<br>lorem ipsum dolor<br />lorem ipsum dolor';">

works greate in all browsers. Maybe your FF-version build when there were dinosaurs on earth? :D

what i mean is say i have a main div tag with 400 pixels high and i put a new div tag in there 500 pixels high it will go over the top in firefox but internet explorer it will make the other div tag bigger.
