Dynamic height for DIV

Question

I have the following DIV

#products
{
    height: 102px; width: 84%;
    padding:5px; margin-bottom:8px;
    border         


        

Answer 1

This worked for me as-
HTML-

    <div style="background-color: #535; width: 100%; height: 80px;">
        <div class="center">
            Test <br>
            kumar adnioas<br>
            sanjay<br>
            1990
        </div>
    </div> 

CSS-

.center {
    position: relative;
    left: 50%;
    top: 50%;
    height: 82%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    transform: -webkit-translate(-50%, -50%);
    transform: -ms-translate(-50%, -50%);
   }  

Hope will help you too.

Answer 2

set height: auto; If you want to have minimum height to x then you can write

height:auto;
min-height:30px;
height:auto !important;        /* for IE as it does not support min-height */
height:30px;                   /* for IE as it does not support min-height */

Answer 3

You should be okay to just take the height property out of the CSS.

Answer 4

calculate the height of each link no do this

document.getElementById("products").style.height= height_of_each_link* no_of_link

Answer 6

Set both to auto:

height: auto;
width: auto;

Making it:

#products
{
    height: auto;
    width: auto;
    padding:5px; margin-bottom:8px;
    border: 1px solid #EFEFEF;
}
