CSS: Div not extending with child divs?

Absolutely positioned elements are taken out of the document flow, so the container div won't 'see' them. Try floating the 3 divs left, and adding overflow:auto to the container div. The latter (not a blank 'clearing' div) is the current best practice .

Your parent column will not extend to fit the content of the child columns since 2 of them are position: absolute.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
