I would like to make the class="content" stretch down to the footer. For the life of me I can't figure it out. I've tried many of the recommendations already posted with no results.
Here is what I got so far:
I need the red to fill down to the footer. Any suggestions?
HTML
<body>
<div class="top-wrapper">
<div class="header">
Header
</div>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="logo"></div>
<div class="menu">
Menu
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
Test<br> Test<br> Test<br>
</div>
</div>
<div class="bottom-wrapper">
<div class="footer">
footer.
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS

{
height: 100%;
}
body
{

width: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.top-wrapper
{
min-height: 100%;
}
.header
{
background-color:grey;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 0 0 2px 0;
border-color: #E5E529;
box-shadow: 0 0 6px #848484;

}

margin-left: auto;

}
.content

}
.footer
{

}
/* Menu CSS */
.logo
{

.menu

}
With this 'sticky footer' example you're stretching the 'top-wrapper' only. I think in order to adjust the (minimum) height of the 'content' element it has to get calculated via JS.
Here is a example with jQuery: http://jsfiddle.net/eBR8e/1/
(function( window, $, undefined ) {
var topWrapperHeight = $('.top-wrapper').height(),
bottomWrapperHeight = $('.bottom-wrapper').height(),
headerHeight = $('.header').outerHeight(),
navigationHeight = $('.navigation').outerHeight(),
contentHeight;
contentHeight = topWrapperHeight - bottomWrapperHeight - ( headerHeight + navigationHeight );
$('.content').css({
'min-height' : contentHeight
});
})( window, jQuery );
It's a pretty straight forward calculation, but let me know if you have any questions.
