Setting 100% height to columns in Twitter Bootstrap

I am new to BootStrap so learning the ropes and understanding it. I am trying to acheive 100% height in column grid so that it covers 100% height of the page. Right now no height is set. When I try to specify the height of both columns col-lg-9 and col-lg-3 in pixels or % no change occurs. Don't know what might be the problem. Here is the basic structure I am using

<body>
<div class="row">
"Top bar"
</div>
 <div class="container">
       <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-3">
side bar
</div>

 <div class="col-lg-9">
side bar
</div>

</div>

And here is the css for each item

@media (min-width: 1200px)
.container {
max-width: 1170px;
}
.row {
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.col-lg-9 {
width: 75%;
padding: 10px 20px;
border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0;
-moz-border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0;
-webkit-border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0;
-o-border-radius: 0 10px 10px 0;
border: 0 none;
padding-top: 3%;
min-height: 90%;
}
.col-lg-3 {
width: 25%;
background-color: #192D38;
color: #88A7A9;
min-height: 90%;
}

try this:

html,body
{
  height: 100%;
}

If that doesn't work, then use inspect element, and verify that parent elements have 100% height. (Because if they don't - then child elements won't get 100% height unless they are position:absolute or position:fixed
