resize container height on overflow?

[beamish 2 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi

 

Is it possible to have a container automatically resize it's height when a div inside of it is moving outside the container's height?

 

in this pen -  - will it be possible to have the blue containing box automatically resize it's height when the contained red smaller box reaches the blue box bottom?

 

Thanks,

 

Elior

... well, I managed to solve this in the following pen:

even though this seems rather expansive in cpu time.  any alternatives?...

 

Thanks

hmm, the way you have it is pretty much what I was thinking of. As far as I know the DOM doesn't really allow for that kind of height change when child position changes. However, it's likely one of the other mods may have a trick up their sleeve.
