nested div expand vertically

Sorry this has probably been asked a million times before.

I have a nested div and want it to expand vertically to fill its parent
div. It does it in IE6 but not Mozilla.

Height property doesnt seem to have any effect.

Is there a simple solution.

Thanks
Dave

Have you searched the Google Groups archive then?

height: 100%;

plus paddings, borders and margins. Of course the parent's height has to be
known to be used as a percetage reference, otherwise it's treated like
'auto'.

Is there code available where one can see what you're actually doing?

Is that a question?
