Here is an example on how to do it.  The trick is with the CSS rule for html
and body.
*
viewport.html*

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";>

<html>
<head>
<title>ViewPort Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="viewport.css">
</head>

<body>

<div id="example">This div has 100% height and width of the viewport</div>

</body>

</html>

*viewport.css*
html, body {
  overflow: hidden;
  height: 100%;
}

#example {
  height: 100%;
  background-color: blue;
}
