    <p>I have a page that has a header, content, and footer. The header and footer are of fixed height, and I'd like the content to adjust its height so that it fits dynamically between the header and footer. I am planning to put a background-image in my content, so it is critical that it actually fills the rest of the unoccupied vertical space.</p> <p>I used the <a href="http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/" rel="noreferrer">Sticky Footer</a> approach to ensure that the footer remains on the bottom of the page. This however does not make the content span the entire height of the remaining space.</p> <p>I have tried several solutions which involved me adding <code>height:100%, height:auto; position:relative</code> but it did not work.</p> <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false" data-console="false" data-babel="false"> <div class="snippet-code"> <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>html, body { height: 100%; background-color: yellow; } header { width: 100%; height: 150px; background-color: blue; } header nav ul li { display: inline; padding: 0 30px 0 0; float: left; } #wrapper { min-height: 100%; height: auto !important; height: 100%; margin: 0 0 -30px 0; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */ position: relative; } #wrapper #content { background-color: pink; width: 400px; height: 100%; margin: 0 0 -30px 100px; padding: 25px 30px 25px 30px; } footer { margin: -30px 0 0 0; width: 100%; height: 30px; background-color: green; }</code></pre> <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div id="wrapper"&gt; &lt;header&gt; &lt;div id="logo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;nav&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;About&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Menu&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Specials&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/nav&gt; &lt;/header&gt; &lt;div id="content"&gt; content &lt;br&gt;goes &lt;br&gt;here &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;footer&gt;footer&lt;/footer&gt;</code></pre> </div> </div> </p>
