title: How to resize height of parent container (say DIV) using JQuery
body: <p>I am struggling on the following objective (I am a new bee to JQuery).</p>
  
  <p>I would like to have a parent container (say DIV) to increase its height automatically when any (or all) of its child controls resizes.  The DIVs may contain both inline and absolutely positioned elements (even relatively).</p>
  
  <p>In other words, the container should automatically expand its height to include all of its children at any moment.</p>
  
  <p>I am frustrated with CSS hacks (along with "clearfix") and wanted to go with JQuery (looks much promising than CSS).  </p>
  
  <p>How can I achieve this using JQuery.  </p>
