  • This will add scrollbars on overflow. If you (like I) were looking for how to get the div to extend (shrinkwrap) to its contents size, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/450903/make-css-div-width-equal-to-contents – apeiros Jan 03 '13 at 19:01

You must have some floating content inside.

<div id="divWithBorderIssue">
   blah
   <div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>

You could also use a clearfix

edit: of course if you provided the code it would be easier to help you
