Outer Div not expanding with Inner Div

Question

I am developing the follow page:

The problem i'm having is the tabular structure. The outer div, my container is not expanding with the alternating heights of the tabs. See image of problem:

I would like the container to extend to the tabs heights.

HTML:

<section class="x_section_wide">
<div id="ambition_container">
    <div id="x_tools">
        <span id="a_name">name</span>           
    </div>
    <div class="x_content">
        </div>
        <div id="a_progress_bar">
            <span id="a_progress">
            </span>
        </div>
        <div class="tabs">
           <div class="tab">
               <input type="radio" id="tab-4" name="tab-group-2" checked>
               <label for="tab-4" id="a_tab_one">1</label>
               <div id="tab_information" class="tab_content">
                   <div id="a_extra_info">
                        <div id="a_extra_info_inner">
                            <div>1</div>

Answer 1

#ambition_container, #tabs{
overflow:hidden;
}

Add this rules on your CSS stuff.

Answer 2

you must change like this
for tabs

<div class="tabs">
  <div class="tab">
  <div class="tab">
  <div class="tab">
  <div class="tab">
</div>

css of tabs

.tabs {
    clear: both;
    height: 30px;
    position: relative;
}

and place content after tabs in content div

<div class="content" style="">
    <div id="tab_information for tab1" class="tab_content" style="display: block;">
        <div id="a_extra_info">
            <div id="a_extra_info_inner">Place Content of tab 1</div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div id="tab_information for tab2" class="tab_content" style="display: none;">
        <div id="a_extra_info">
            <div id="a_extra_info_inner">Place Content of tab 2</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Answer 3

set this style on your outer div id or class whatever you have

#ambition_container{
    background-color: #461f20;
    padding:20px 10px 10px 10px;
    position:relative;
    height:100%;
    overflow-y:auto;
    display:block
}
