    copied!<p>I've created a JSFiddle to describe what I mean:</p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/3yGLT/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/3yGLT/</a></p> <p>I want my <code>.top</code> section to be affected by the height of the <code>.floated-div</code>, as you can see. At present, my <code>.floated-div</code> content drops over the <code>.bottom</code> section, which is not what I want. The height of the <code>.floated-div</code> needs to dictate the height of the <code>.top</code> section, effectively pushing <code>.bottom</code> down to make room for it.</p> <p>I thought Clear divs were the solution I wanted, but it's not giving me the behaviour I'm after. I think this would only apply if the main content of <code>.top</code> was in a similar div to <code>floated-div</code> and not embedded in this way.</p> <p>I can add things like clears, but I can't adjust the structure of this code as it's something that's generated through the CMS.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;section class="top"&gt; &lt;h1&gt;test&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;some content&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="floated-div"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;aside content&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;some aside content&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;some aside content&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/section&gt; &lt;section class="bottom"&gt; &lt;/section&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS</strong></p> <pre><code>.top{ width: 60%; height:auto; background:#f1f1f1; } .floated-div{ width:40%; position:absolute; right:0; top:0; } .clear{ clear:both; } .bottom{ width: 100%; height:100px; background:#d1d1d1; } </code></pre>
