Find y position of bottom of element on web page and determine how much space is left

I need to be able to find the position of the bottom of a tabstrip on a webpage in order to determine how much space is left in the window clientheight space. Then I will add a division to what area is left based on the user's window size. This area will have a scroll bar and must be visible without using the browser scroll bar on the right.
The tabstrip is displayed. When a user clicks on a specific tab, a dynamic table will be displayed in the remaining area. The table is larger than the window size so the division around the table places a scrollbar at the bottom and right. I want to dynamically calculate this area no matter what the user's window size is.

TAB1    Tab2   Tab3 Tab4 Tab5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
table                                                                                                                                                          I    *
                                                                                                                                                                 I    *

                                                                                                                              division right scroll bar        *
