Why won't my div expand to accommodate my table?

I have a dynamic table that expands in height at various times. It's wrapped in a DIV tag. The DIV tag does not expand with the table. Is there a trick to fix this?

Without seeing any code, it sounds like you needs a clearing br under the table.

Add <br style="clear:both;" /> after the table and before the closing </div>.

Of course, you should place that CSS in a class and add it to your stylesheet.

Have you tried setting the width and height on the div to auto? Some brief googling seems to suggest that position also needs to be set, so either position:absolute or position:relative should work fine.

I can revise my answer if you post either code or a link to the page you're having the problem on.

#yourDiv
{
  position:absolute;
  width:auto;
  height:auto;
}
