[Pro] Making several html items elastic

Say I have three html fields. On the left I have a largish Field A and under it at the same width a smallish Field B.

On the right, I have a Field C that is narrow but that goes from the top of Field A to the bottom of field B.

Now suppose that Field A will have text of varying lengths. I have the ‘modify height (undefined)’ action applied to Field A and it grows and shrinks nicely.

My problem is that I want Field B to rise and fall on the page appropriately so that it stays under the bottom of Field A. Also I want Field C to grow and shrink accordingly.

This is on Lion with the most recent Pro. CSS layout.

TIA

When you say “field” here, are you referring to a form element (textarea) or a normal HTML box?

Ted-

If I understand you correctly, I think you are asking about inline construction.

Here is a link to an example, with download, of one way to do this:

Inline construction can be very hard to get the hang of, but this sounds like what you want.

Best of luck,

Ernie –

Yes, you divined the question correctly. Even with the amazing example file, I am having trouble duplicating.

The secret seems to be in the order of the nested html items, plus the ‘float’ and ‘clear’ parameters. I am having trouble even making a copy of what you did!

Don’t reply now. I’ll work up a page and put it online so all can see what I want to do.

Thanks.
