height 100% in Chrome

Question

I\'m having problems with a side div that won\'t get the height to 100% in Chrome. It works just fine in FF.

I\'m using:

html, body {

 padd         


        

Answer 1

From http://doctype.com/give-two-nested-divs-100-minheight:

The child element inherits the height of the parent container only if it is specified explicitly. But min-height is not an explicit specification of height, so the computed height is "auto" and not 100%.
