    <p>I keep finding that if I have nested divs inside each other, and one of the inner ones is floated, the outer one won't expand around it.</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div style='background-color:red; '&gt; asdfasdf &lt;div style='float:left; background-color:blue; width:400px; height:400px;'&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; asdfasdf &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>What do I need to do to the outer div to make it cover the inner one? IE: Put it's border/background color all the way around it?</p> <p>Also, is there a general principle I am bumping up against here? If so, what should I look up to get a solid understanding of what it is?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong></p> <p>Hi All, </p> <p>Thanks for the answers, semantically correct and no, and for the links.</p> <p>Though I will end up using overflow in the final work, I will leave Ant P's answer as accepted, as it was the first one that really worked, and got me out of a short term jam, even though it offends semantic sensibilities.</p> <p>As a long-time html hack trying to move to decent css layouts, I can certainly understand, and sympathize with, using semantically incorrect hack that gets the job done, though I am sure he will change that habit after this =o)</p>

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.
