One of the "issues" with using abs. positioning is that the element
you position is taken out of the normal document flow. Which means,
that it takes up no space in the document or any parent elements that
it might have. So there is no way to get your container to flow open
to the height of your abs. positioned element unless you give it a
specific height.
What you are wanting would be much better accomplished using floats. (
which i know you said you didn't want to use).
