title: Floating left and parent height
body: <p>This has probably been answered before, but I have spent some time looking and can't find an exact answer. </p>
  
  <p>I have a parent div A that contains two divs B and C.</p>
  
  <p>B and C are both floated left. C has no set height (grows w/ amount of text in it). </p>
  
  <p>The problem: the parent A does not grow to the size of C. I know this has something to do with floating an element not being a part of the normal document flow, but I don't know how to fix it (setting a height on A doesn't help since it depends on the height of C). </p>
