I recently started a page on 100% height in our wiki, since this topic 
comes up a lot and, remarkably, I couldn't find a page on it yet. 
There's not much there yet, so please, everyone, add to it and improve it:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=100PercentHeight

Also, I had some trouble linking it from the front page, presumably due 
to the number in the name. See here, under CssLayouts:
