The question with 100% is: "100% of what?" 100% is 100% of your browser window's height, or to be precise the viewport's height. If you scroll the contents in a way that the top border of the div is at the top border of the browser's viewort, then the bottom border of the div should be at the bottom border of the browser's viewport. Thus the height is exactly 100%.
