how to make DIV height 100% between header and footer
Is there a way to setup a layout so that the header is 50px, body is 100% and footer is 50px?
I would like the body to use up the entire viewing area at minimum. I would like to have the footer and header to be on the screen at all times

I created an example in jsfiddle:
UPDATED JsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5V288/1025/
HTML:
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"><div>
Content
</div></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
CSS:
html { height: 100%; }
body {
height:100%;
min-height: 100%;
background: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
position:relative;
}
#header {
height:50px;
width:100%;
top:0px;
left:0px;
background: #CCCCCC;
position:fixed;
}
#footer {
height:50px;
width:100%;
bottom:0px;
left:0px;
background: #CCCCCC;
position:fixed;
}
#content {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
height:100%;
padding: 0 20px;
}
#content > div {
padding: 70px 0;
}
Without border-box the content will be height 100% + 140px padding. With the border-box the content height will be 100% and the padding will be inside.
