Forum Moderators: not2easy
I've positioned my container div relative. In the container, I then positioned my center content div absolute.
The problem: The container div is not expanding with the content div. You can see this because the content div is overlapping my footer which is clear: both.

clear is to clear a float, not an absolutely positioned element.
An absolutely positioned element is not influencing other content at all, so it will not influence the size of it's parent.
If you just want to center something there are alternatives to a relative positioned container with an absolutely positioned child.
The easiest solution is to set a width and give left and right margins he value "auto". Do take care not to have IE6 in quirks mode as it doesn't do it if you have it in quirks mode.
