Hello,

Is there a way to get a parent or container div to expand 100% height in a
browser window using css that doesn't depend on the content to expand the
height?

I tried setting the body tag to 100% height and then the container div to
100% height, which worked in IE, but not Mozilla browsers.

Just wondering if there is a method to do this?

Thanks,
-D-

Set the html element to 100% height:

html,body{height:100%}

Thanks Gary...that got it.

If I may ask one additional question. I've been trying to get my content
vertically centered within my container div. The container div has the
height set to 100%. I nested a div within the container and set it's height
to 50% and position: absolute, but that didn't work.

Here is a test link:

Thanks again for your help.

As far as I know that's not possible.

I've never tried this, but give it a whirl.

..container{
height: 100%;
}
..content{
height: 100px;
margin: auto 0;
}
