Ok so I know this topic has many questions, but I still haven\'t been able to figure exactly how to make this work. This is close to the problem, but its not working for m
Just script it:
<script type="text/javascript">
function contentSize()
{
document.getElementById('content').style.height=(window.availHeight-40)+"px";
}
onload=contentSize;
onresize=contentSize;
<script>
This should work:

#content
{
height: auto;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 40px;
bottom: 0;
}
Here is an article about this problem. CSS 100% height problem
You can see the example page has a perfect 100% layout what header and footer. It uses relative position and not absolute.
Use flex:1;
html, body
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
}
#page
{
min-height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
#header
{
display: flex;
height: 40px;
background-color:red;
}
#content
{
display: flex;
flex: 1;
background-color:blue;
}
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
</div>
</body>
You can use box-sizing
property for this
