I have a small problem ... I know how to use overflow auto to make the height equal to div content. I am trying to create a tooltip that does not clip the parent div which is set to auto. The solution could be one of two options ... 1. Find a way to set the height to the div to fit the content and overflow to visible. 2. Find a way to remove the clip when height is set to auto and overflow is set to auto too. So the problem is ... Overflow auto and height auto results in a clip And overflow visible needs to have a height set that is not equal to auto. I am trying to find the solution by making the height auto and the overflow to visible with the div adjusting to the content height.
The what, the what, and the what?!? Sorry, but nothing you said there makes a lick of sense. Are you referring to overflow:hidden to wrap floats? Because otherwise overflow has nothing to do with a DIV. In general I'm trying to figure out what you even mean by "results in a clip". I think you're just using the wrong terminology. Do you have an example of what you're struggling with in terms of code and/or a demo you could toss up someplace like codepen? It would likely make a lot more sense if we could see what you have for code and a result than just trying to guess from a vague description that seems utterly unrelated to how HTML and CSS work.
