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:

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) );

}
/* End of Header */

Any help is appreciated... thanks...
EDIT:
Thanks to Andrea Ligios for the fiddle!

Works well with Firefox, but doesn't work on Chrome...
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 */
}
