    <p>I think it is a fairly simple problem, but I just cant wrap my head around it and I am not too great with jQuery. I have a div inside of an . The articles height is variable depending on the content (Its a blog post, so some are short, some are long). I want my div to match the height of the article it is nested in.</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code> &lt;article class="PostHome"&gt; &lt;div class="ColorBarLeft"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;header&gt; &lt;h3&gt;@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Title)&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;small&gt;@Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.DateCreated)&lt;/small&gt; &lt;/header&gt; &lt;section id="PostContent"&gt; @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Content) &lt;/section&gt; &lt;section id ="PostTags"&gt; @Html.Label("Tags:") @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem =&gt; item.Tags) &lt;/section&gt; @Html.ActionLink("View Full Post", "Post", new { blogTitle = item.Title.Replace(" ", "-"), id = item.Id}, null) &lt;/article&gt; </code></pre> <p>And then I tried some jQuery like so:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { $(".ColorBarLeft").height(function () { var height = $(this).height() $('.PostHome').height(height); }) }); </code></pre> <p>I think that code is correct, but it could be off, again, not very good at jQuery.</p> <p>And I don't know if this is important but there are going to be multiple posthomes and ColorBarlefts on the page at a time.</p> <p>***EDIT, changes id=PostHome to class=PostHome</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9NwcL.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I want the bar where the red squiggly box is.</p>

    1. COIt seems like you're doing it the other way around matching the height of `posthome` to `colorbarleft`

    2. COThere are 2 separate issues here: the height, and the position of the colored bar. Do you already have a solution for the position? How the bar is positioned will likely determine what options are available for the height.

    3. COFor the position all I was doing was setting the div's css to this: position: absolute; left: 0;. For the height I can't get it to match, which is why i though jQuery might do it. If I use the images like you stated, it works fine, but only if I keep it inside the article element

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
