so I'm trying to create a layout with twitter bootstrap and Ryan Fait's sticky footer

<body>
<div class="wrapper">
    <div class="header">
</div>
    <div class="user-panel">
    <h1>Side Panel</h1>
</div>

    <div class="content">
        Hello World!
    </div>

    <div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>

I can't seem to expand the user-panel and content to to 100% height, tried these but they don't work:

http://fiddle.jshell.net/teresko/UG8Rk/show/ I need the rounded borders so...

Here's the CSS...

/* Header */
.header {
    height: 40px;
    margin-top: 0px;

    border: 1px solid #999;
    -webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 5px;
    border-radius: 0px 0px 5px 5px;
    -webkit-box-shadow: #666 0px 1px 1px;
    -moz-box-shadow: #666 0px 1px 1px;
    box-shadow: #666 0px 1px 1px;
    background: #F3F3F1;
    background: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0 0, 0 bottom, from(#F3F3F1), to(#2B2B2B) );
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(#F3F3F1, #2B2B2B);

    behavior: url(/PIE.htc);
}
/* End of Header */

/* Footer */
.footer {
    margin-top: 12px;
    background-color: #000;

    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-right: 20px;

}
/* End of Footer */

/* Sticky footer by Ryan Fait... with a little customization*/
* {
    margin: 0;
}

html,body {
    height: 100%;
}

.wrapper {
    padding-left: 20px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto -4em;
}

.push {
    height: 40px;
    clear: both;
}
/* End of Sticky footer*/

/* User Panel ( that sidepanel on the left side with navigation etc) */
.user-panel {
    border: 1px solid #999;
    -webkit-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
    -moz-border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px;

    behavior: url(/PIE.htc);
    width: 175px;
    float: left;
    height: inherit;
    background: gray;
}
/* End of User Panel */

Any help is appreciated... thanks...

Hi Hello Good morning Kevin!, place this code inside your side-panel element

display: block;
position:absolute;
height:auto;
bottom:0;
top:0;

Hope this helps :)

You can use calc() CSS3 function.

Look at here: http://jsfiddle.net/RPFcN/2/

You specify display: inline-block to keep the blocks displayed in line, but with block element behaviour;

Then you set the height of the user-panel to be 100% minus the height of header and footer, their margins and borders (total: 98px).

The height of the "content" will be 100% minus 94px, because content has no borders (while user-panel has 1px of borders).

EDIT: and you remove height: auto !important from wrapper class

The way I have used to make this work is...

HTML:

<footer>
  <div class="container">
    <p class="text-muted">Footer text you want here.</p>
  </div>
</footer>

CSS:

html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
}
body {
  margin-bottom: 8em; /* Must be set to the same as footer height */
}
footer {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 8em; /* Must be set at the same as margin-bottom in body */
}
