I remember when I first started using CSS, something really ticked me off. That was that when I had an HTML file with a div in it, and I wanted to add some padding to that div, not only did the content inside of the div get “padded”, but the whole div increased in size. As you can imagine, this got really annoying, until one day I found the solution to the problem.
Let’s start with an example of the problem. If I have the following HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
<title>CSS Padding Problem</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" media="all" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="padded">I want this content to be padded.</div>
</body>
</html>

I don’t know about you, but I always get frustrated trying to figure out how to get my layout to stretch vertically to 100% of the page. I have a div that I want to stretch, but it just doesn’t stretch. Now why wouldn’t it do that? Today I will share the solution with you.
Say you have coded an HTML file like this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<title>CSS 100% Height</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
