Java Syntax for making 2 divs same height dynamically.

[jatrant]

The title may not make much sense but its a little tricky to explain in a sentence.

What I have is 2 div's that are layered one on top of the other. The reason why is because 1 div has opacity settings (background) and the other is content (on top). The content will be dynamic coming from the database, so this is why I would like to set the "div Background" with the "div dontent" to match in height.

What I basically need is a way for "div content" to tell "div background" what size it should be depending on how long "div content" is.

I would really appreciate it if I could get some help with this issue.

Sorry for showing my ignorance, but what's a "div"?

div as in <div>....
i think this is a java script thing.
you could just make an invisible table and give that the background you want and it will wrap to the next line.
if you dont want that.....


you may need to search around for character/ line count or get the curser position or something like that.

Did the initiater mean to be a division?
I am not aware of java scripts much but if we can set some layout then we can set it gridlayout so that the divisions are equal all the time.

Sorry if i am wrong...

Sorry Guys I realized that I got the wrong forum for this question. My apologies.
kurenai - I thank you for the suggestion but unfortunately i need both layers to be visible at all times so an invisible table wouldnt do the trick.
Niveditha - No what i meant by div is exactly what kurenai said "html <div>" and my intentions were to get a java script.
But im in the wrong place for this.

Thanks for trying to help, cheers
