    Hi,

    I've positioned my container div relative. In the container, I then positioned my center content div absolute.

    The problem: The container div is not expanding with the content div. You can see this because the content div is overlapping my footer which is clear: both.

    You can check out my website: www.2teachreading.comyr.com

    Thanks

    And it should not. Absolutely positioned elements are removed from the normal flow as if they aren't there at all. This behavior is by design.

    Does it have anything to do with the z-index?
