If I set min-height for html and body at 1500 px then set an internal div at height:100%, the internal div doesn't pick up the entire height (1500px) of the containing element. What gives? I thought height:100% should make that element 100% of the height of body.
@bluprint1 It does. In the example that you linked to, the div with the id content_wrapper is indeed 1200px tall, as is the body with the min-height property.
Try giving the #content_wrapper a background color or a border, that makes it easier to see its size.
