Menu
Okay. I'm trying to get a page to display 100% of the height of the viewport, but the catch is the page has multiple divs that aren't always nested. I've been browsing multiple questions and other websites and I cannot find an answer that suits my needs.
I currently have a layout as so:
<html>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
</div>
<div class="content">
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Where as the header and footer is 80px each, I am trying to get the content div to fill the rest of the viewport. I've tried setting html, body, & the container div to "height:100%" each and then setting the content div to min-height:100% and height:100% but that just makes the div expand to 100% of the viewport, and then the footer gets pushed down 80px (because the header is 80px), so the full page ends up as 100% + 160px (two 80px divs).
Any ideas? Cheers.

You can do this with simple display:table property.
Check this:
html,
body,
.container {
height: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
.container {
position: relative;
display:table;
width:100%;
}
.content {
background-color: blue;
}
.header {
height: 80px;
background-color: red;
}
.footer {
height: 80px;
background-color: green;
}
.content, .header, .footer{
display:table-row;
}

div#container {

margin:0 auto; /* center, not in IE5 */
width:750px;
background:#f0f0f0;

min-height:100%; /* real browsers */
}
div#header {
padding:1em;
background:#ddd url("../csslayout.gif") 98% 10px no-repeat;
border-bottom:6px double gray;
}
div#content {
padding:1em 1em 5em; /* bottom padding for footer */
}
div#footer {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
bottom:0; /* stick to bottom */
background:#ddd;
border-top:6px double gray;
}
