auto expand last div and apply scroll bar
Posted on 2012-12-22
I have a design with a outer container div and a number of child divs.
I want to last of the child divs to expand in height to fill in all remaining space whenever the browser resizes. This last child div can have content which is longer and therefore needs a scroll bar.
is this doable with only css, or does javascript have to be applied?

More information would have been good here. IE. Does the container div have a set height? Do the child divs have a set height or max height? Are these divs supposed to fill 100% of the screen or can they overflow beyond that?
My understanding without this information is the following:
If I understand what you're trying to do then there's no way I can think of to manage this with css alone. Javascript is the way forward.
My understanding without this information is the following:
Parent div is set to 100% height so it always fits the screen.
Child divs have no specified height and will simply expand to fit their content.
Last child div wants to fill any remaining space down to the bottom of the parent div.
