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.
