Div not expanding even with content inside

Question

But for some reason the surrounding DIV tag only expands to it\'s anoi

Answer 1

Floated elements don’t take up any vertical space in their containing element.

All of your elements inside #albumhold are floated, apart from #albumhead, which doesn’t look like it’d take up much space.

However, if you add overflow: hidden; to #albumhold (or some other CSS to clear floats inside it), it will expand its height to encompass its floated children.
