I have a div wrapper that encompasses my whole layout. I call it base and on top of base I have another div called floor.
So lets say the content inside base and floor could expands vertically as UGC posts usually does outgrowing the 650px I've set my div's height to. This results in a very ugly poor looking layout.
So I've searched and found that if I set my height to auto this allows the boxes to grow and also shrink so on pages with no content, my foot div is at the top, looking ugly again.

Is there a way to tell a div to be 650px; unless content grows too big for the box then switch to auto height?
