TinyMCE 4 and 100% Height Within Containing Element

Question

I am in the process of migrating from TinyMCE 3 to 4.

However, I am getting stuck at making TinyMCE fill its 100% height container (it does work with TinyMCE 3).

Please note this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/MLJaN/

I used the CSS below to try and set the iframe and all of its parents to 100%-height. I agree it does not look ideal, but I would have thought it should work this way.

 body, html, .mce-tinymce, .mce-edit-area.mce-container, iframe, .mce-container-body.mce-stack-layout
 {
     height: 100% !important;
 }

As you can see in the live-fiddle, it is exactly the amount of pixels of the toolbar "too tall": i.e. it is 34px too tall (the toolbar's height).

This works, but it does not automatically resize with the browser and it uses calc() which is only about 79% supported right now: http://jsfiddle.net/MLJaN/2/

Now, I am looking for a pure CSS (no calc() function) solution to make the entire editor fill its container and be fluidly resizable.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

When you're a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. There's no need for javascript or jquery for this as the tags are there to work with. All that's needed is to adjust the margin on #mcu_31 to adjust for the height of the toolbar and footer. The following sets tinymce to be responsive in its containing element.

/*Container, container body, iframe*/
.mce-tinymce, .mce-container-body, #code_ifr {
    min-height: 100% !important;
}
/*Container body*/
.mce-container-body {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
}
/*Editing area*/
.mce-container-body .mce-edit-area {
    position: absolute;
    top: 69px;
    bottom: 37px;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
}
/*Footer*/
.mce-tinymce .mce-statusbar {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
}

Revised because TinyMCE changes the id's with menu/toolbar additions or deletions. This works no matter what you do with it.
