Hi,

I have an aspx page that is broken up into div's. The content div
height can vary depending on the length of the text within. A footer
div follows the content div.

I have the position style elements set to absolute on the div's. My
problem is that because the content div height can vary, I have to set
the footer's top style value programmatically. I am trying to do so in
a Page_Load sub procedure, where I declare an integer variable and set
it equal to content.style.posHeight (content being the id of my content
div).

I get the resulting error content.style.posHeight is not a member of
system.web.ui.CssStyleCollection. Can someone offer a suggestion as to
what this erro means/how to resolve it? I want to set my variable equal
to the div's height and then, in my footer div, state top:
variable.value.

Thanks,

John

Hi,

This is more info for my original post (see below)...this is the error I
received:

Compiler Error Message: BC30456: 'posHeight' is not a member of
'System.Web.UI.CssStyleCollection'.

Source Error:

Line 12: Sub Login_Click(s As Object, e As Eventargs)
Line 13: Dim VarCtrColHt as Integer=20
Line 14: VarCtrColHt =3D pageCtrCol.style.posHeight
Line 15: End Sub
Line 16:

I've done some research and it looks like I need to use CssEventArgs
instead, but I don't understand how to change my code. I found this on
MSDN:

Public Sub
CssEventArgs(
    ByVal sName As string; *Required. Name of the attribute.
    ByVal sValue As string *Required. The Value
    )

How can I rebuild my Sub to find the height of a div and capture it into
a variable of integer type? The height of the div that I am trying to
determine is height: auto in my stylesheet so that the div fits to the
length of the subject text in each page.

I would really, truly appreciate any help. I've been wracking my brain
for two days now and have a good idea of what has to happen, but just
don't have enough experience to code it correctly. Thank you.
