Make the fixed content height matter












0















I have a situation kind of like this =>



https://codepen.io/anon/pen/pQpLqY



since my #sub-header-content has no fixed height and can grow when user interact, I would like to be able to not set the height of #sub-header-content manually, but make it automatically fit the child size.



#sub-header-content{
background-color:purple;
height:40px; // WANT TO REMOVE THIS
}

#sub-header-menu{
position:fixed;
height:40px;
width: 50px;
margin: auto;
background-color:green;
}

          I did not understand perfectly what you wanted, but I think setting min-height: 40px would do the trick.

          • Basically, right now I have to put the height/min-height manually. But if the height of the header is greater than the value I set (because of user interaction) I have to fix by code the height again or it will hide behind the content. What I would like, is that the #sub-header-content adapt to my #sub-header-menu height without me interacting with it
