Divs HTML + CSS tuning

Question

Well, my doubt is on my page I have the menu and the footer 100% functional but I can not adapt the div of the "body" or "content" wanted as the content is placed it increases, my problem when I try to do that the information "passes" the footer and goes on and I didn’t want it, someone knows how to help?

Answer 1

Just leave the body div without setting the height, and it will automatically adjust.

*{
  margin: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
}
#geral{
  width: 700px;
  background-color: lightgrey;
  margin: auto;
}
#cabecalho{
  width: 700px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: lightsalmon;
}
#conteudo{
  width: 660px;
  background-color: lightblue;
  padding: 20px;
}
#rodape{
  width: 700px;
  height: 200px;
  background-color: lightgreen;
}

<div id="geral">
  <div id="cabecalho">
  </div>
  <div id="conteudo">

Answer 2

I don’t think I understand your question very well, put your code here for me to take a look, but I suppose you’re using a fixed value on height, remove this fixed value and the div should grow along with its contents.
