I'm trying to create a layout with a 'header' area which contains a logo and some links, and then a content area which needs to extend to the bottom of the page. This is where I'm getting stuck.
I've surrounded the header and content with a container div which has a height of 100%, this works fine. But I can't then get the content div to stretch to the bottom of the container div as giving it a minimum height of 100% appears to take the height from the page body, so I end up with a scroll bar due to the space taken up at the top of the page by the header.
Here's a wireframe which hopefully makes what I'm trying to achieve a bit clearer...
Here is a quick CSS example, this works, apart from there always being a scrollbar at which appears to be the height of the header area...
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
color: #fff;
}
body {
background-color: #000;
}
#container {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
min-height: 100%;
}
#header {
padding-top: 26px;
}
#logo {
width: 194px;
height: 55px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color: #fff;
}
#content {
margin-top: 10px;
position: absolute;
width: 1000px;
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #fff;
}
