css doesnt recognise div size within divs

ok, on the site im working on right now i have a problem
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://hive-dev.net/xconnexion/">http://hive-dev.net/xconnexion/</a><!-- m -->

i have 2 wrapping divs "middle" (pink) "bottom" (green)

middle should be over bottom, obviously well it is, but the problem is
the middle div doesnt seem to realise that the community, pix and info divs are within it,
if i dont set the height of middle to something it asumes middle to be 0 high, thus putting the bottom div over the "community" "pix" and "info" divs...

why doesnt my middle div realise that its size should be as big as its contents?

does what i say make sence, its not easy to explain stuff like this if you ask me.. :confused:

It won't move out of the way of anything and nothing will move out of its way either.
