stick scrollable div to bottom of screen

I've got a cordova app using jquery, jquery-mobile, iscroll and iscrollview
I'm not exactly committed to any of these tools.
I've got the jquery-mobile header/footer stuck to the top and bottom of the screen just fine.
I have a scrollable div between the header and footer. It will contain variable amounts of data. Sometimes the data will be less than the height of the div and sometimes it will be greater (hence the scrolling)
Here's the tricky part. I want to stick the bottom of the scrollable div to the top of the footer. When I add stuff to the div i want the most recently added closest to the top of the footer so the top of the scrollable div looks like its growing upwards towards the bottom of the header as data is added.
Once the top of the scrollable div is fille by its content then i want to be able to scroll it.
Has anyone been able to achieve something like this?

Here's a neat little trick for you.
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="content"></div>
<div class="footer"></div>
Now the CSS
div {
width: 100%;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 50px;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 100px;
}
/* the magic */
.content {
position: absolute;
top: 50px; /* matches height of header */
bottom: 100px; /* matches height of footer */
left: 0px;
overflow: scroll;
}
The neat thing about forcing .content to have both a top and a bottom is that it stretches the div so that it's always the proper height. IF you specified height on it, it wouldn't work, but because the height is determined by the top/bottom property, it's dynamic. I think this gets you to where you want to be.
Here's a fiddle
Edit: Here's what it looks like with content
Edit 2 - forcing content to grow from the bottom.
I'm not sure this is a good idea, and I'm not sure I would ever seriously recommend doing things this way. However, using vertical-align it's possible to force content to grow from the bottom. I suspect that it would be better to just set a margin with javascript that shrunk as content grew, but... maybe not. With all that said, here's one way to do things with CSS.
This requires a little bit of restructuring of the content div.
<div class="content">
<span class="margin"></span>
<span class="inner"></span>
</div>
And a little bit more CSS
span.left-margin {
height: 98%;
width: 0px;
display: inline-block;
}
span.inner {
width: 99%;
background-color: white;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: bottom;
}
It looks like this with a little content
It looks like this with a lot of content
If you want the scroll bar to stick to the bottom as content comes in, you'll need to do some javascript (easy to google it).
I'm not completely happy with doing things this way because if you set height 100% or width 100%, the content div gets a scrollbar automatically from the beginning. However... it looks pretty good and should work in most (if not all) browsers.

Add header to any page with Javascript

I'd like to create a bit of embeddable code that a user can drop into their website that will load some Javascript. If some conditions are met, I'd like to add a small header to the top of the site, pushing down the rest of the content. Is there a simple way to do this that'll work on most websites?
I understand how to load and execute the JS - I guess I'm just wondering what the HTML/CSS would look like on both my header, and what would need to be altered on the user's site.

Have you considered using a floating header on top of their websites as opposed to shifting their entire website down? I think that'd be significantly easier.
That way you could just smack a div anywhere like so:
<div id="header">Whatever content</div>
<style>
#header {
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: black;
z-index: 1;
overflow:hidden;
min-width:280px;
position: fixed;
}
</style>
Or you could remove the position: fixed if that's too annoying and just make sure your div is on top.

DIV height 100% for remaining space under another div

So I have a header bar for a page I made with a height of 150px. Under that area I want another DIV to fill the remaining space (width and height) all across the screen and to the bottom of the screen. I've tried setting height: 100% for the DIV, but that causes the screen to become scrollable and I only want it to fill the remainder of the page. NOTE: There is NO footer or anything under it.
Using jQuery/Javascript is acceptable, but CSS-only is prefered (if possible). If using jQuery, please explain the proper way to have it implemented into the page (I'm assuming $(function() {...}); under the <style> tag in the head.
I've tried searching for a result before, but nothing seems to work correctly.

tl;dr I basically made 3 options for you. click on the 'like this' in the below paragraph to see what they all look like without any text. Click on the A). B). and C). links in the paragraphs below that to see the difference between the three options. Check how each one scrolls differently, they are all different I promise. After you look at all three you can read how the one you want is implemented. (that is if you like any of them.) Hope you like it, no problem if you don't :)
I'll have a go at this, because it honestly depends on what you're going after there are multiple ways to look at it and it depends on your end goal. I will cover three possible scenarios: (which all look the same without text mind you, like this, but if you want to see what they look like with text click the letters. Make sure you scroll the page to see the difference between them.)
(Just as a side note I based A). and B). off how Twitter Bootstrap does it.)
A). You just want it to look like one div on top of the other (header div on top of main-content div) and display like that, but you still want the page to scroll if the 2nd div's text overflows. In this implementation when they scroll will move the header out of view, but if you don't want the header div to move out of view that leads me to
B). Same as the first header div on top of main-content div, but when they scroll the header div will still stay in place at the top instead of moving out of view.
and last of all,
C). You really do want the div to stretch to the bottom of the screen and never have the scroll bar for the whole page. This could be used in some cases, for instance, Spotify makes a nice music app with this kind of style so that you never scroll the whole page just panes in the page.
Ok so first here is the html code used to construct all three of them
<body>
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="main-content"></div>
</body>
And now to the fun part...
I will provide a Fiddle for the following examples, and with the css I will put the necessary code at the top and the unneccessary code at the bottom. (The html may have some unneccasary text so just ignore that. I just want you to see the page scrolls differently on the three.)
A).
no need to rephrase what it is so I'll just show you the code that is necessary.
First, here is A). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs.
Here is the necessary css for A). (the background-color isn't completely necessary, but it is somewhat necessary to show the point.)
body {
padding-top: 150px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
and now for...
B).
First, here is B). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs.
Here is the necessary css for B).
body {
padding-top: 150px;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
As you can probably tell the only difference is the position: fixed on the .header, but look at the two examples to see the difference it makes.
and now last of all C).,
C).
First, here is C). without the text just so you can see what it looks like the others until the content gets too large.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs, and with I'll call option 1 where it has a scroll bar just for that area's overflowing content.
Here is the fiddle with the text so you can see how it differs, and with I'll call option 2 where it hides the overflowing content. (This is honestly bad practice and I wouldn't do it. So if I may suggest. I would go with option 1 of C).)
Here is the necessary css for C).
body {
padding-top: 150px;
}
.header {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 150px;
background-color: #676767;
}
.main-content {
position: fixed;
top: 150px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #ddd;
}
I won't explain it, but here is an article on positioning that will.
here is the only necessary css for option 1 is adding overflow-y: auto to .main-content, but if you want to go with option 2 which I don't suggest you can go with overflow-y: hidden on .main-content
Well that's all for my post which is probably too long for most people sorry if I bored you, but I'm just trying to help. Hope you figure out the layout you want. This is only a few examples of the layouts possible with good old css. If you don't get the layout you want from this or any other post feel free to send me a message by commenting below, and I'll be happy to answer it sometime. Hope this helped. If it didn't that's fine too. :)

You can try css3 flexbox.
http://jsfiddle.net/wL9aM/1/
.container {
display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 700px;
}
.header {
height: 200px;
background: red;
}
.main {
-webkit-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
background: blue;
}

try using script..
var window_h = $(window).height();
var header_h = $("header").height(); //This is what you said you had 150px
$(".filler_div").height(window_h - header_h);
You can also put that inside a function() so that you can add it also when you resize the browser, the filler space also adjusts...
function setfillerDivHeight(){
//the code above
}
$(document).ready(function(){
setFillerDivHeight(); //the initial setting of height
});
$(window).resize(function(){
setFillerDivHeight(); //reapply setting of height when window resizes
});

<div class="full-page-height-wrapper">
<header></header>
<main></main>
</div>
html,body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
header {
height: 150px;
}
.full-page-height-wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}

I don't think you cannot acheive that in pure CSS.
So, there is two different solutions:
1) You can put the 150px div in the 100% div.
2) You can do it with jQuery:
If your top div is <div id="A"> and the second one is <div id="B">, you'll have:
var b = $("#B");
var height = $("body").height() - b.position().top;
b.css({ height: height });
Feel free to adapt the code if you have some margins.

Found a solution myself finally. Doing it this way makes the design more responsive since (if i choose to add something to the bottom), it will automatically resize the div's height.
.container {
display: table;
}
.row {
display: table-row;
}
.column {
display: table-column;
}
#fullDiv {
height: 100%;
}

I found two solution.
The one is that I have must set the div in the absolute position.
the div float over the screen.
another one is use table-row display.

If you use just CSS, you cant achieve your task by giving 100% height to div. Because what basically CSS is doing is giving 100% height to your DIV plus giving 150 px to above header. Consider giving height of DIV less than 100% or some static value such as 600px or 700px.
Alternate is having a class of DIV with min-height 100% and inside it putting your header and body.

CSS body 100% height and overflow when necessary

I know how to ensure that the HTML body vertically stretches/shrinks to 100% height of the browser viewport (by having 100% height in the body and html rules).
I also know that normal HTML flow will result in containers vertically stretching to contain their contents (if things are set up properly).
Yet, I cannot seem to achieve both.
I.e. I cannot beat CSS into ensuring that when my page is viewed on a high resolution screen that it vertically stretches to leave no gaps AND to ensure that if my page is viewed on a lower resolution screen that the body stretches past the viewport (to accommodate all the content) and introduces scrollbars.
To me that is ideal behaviour and yet I sadly believe that this cannot be achieved purely in CSS. I know I can do this in JavaScript quite easily, but I want to be able to do it just in CSS.
Is it possible, or am I forced to use JavaScript?
Edit:
I have researched, tried and test so many techniques, but it just seems like it can't be done. Looks like I am going to have to go back to JavaScript.

OK so this definitely works for me:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
display: flex;
}
#wrapper {
width: 100%; /* Necessary because of side-effect of flex */
height: 100%;
}
Exactly what I tried before, but I thought I would give this new CSS feature "flex" a go and it has done the trick. So it looks the CSS managers/creators have finally addressed these critical issues with dynamic height and vertical centring.
I hope this helps someone else stuck on this issue.

You can use the min-height css property.
html, body {
min-height: 100%;
}

min-height: 100%; /* other browsers */
height: auto !important; /* other browsers */
height: 100%; /* IE6: treated as min-height*/

Taking inspiration from a question which seems to be pretty much the same as mine: Make body have 100% of the browser height
This is working for me:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
}

Images Being Squashed When Viewed In IE8

Im working on a new website, http://blgz.co/, and for some weird reason, all my images are being squeezed!!!!!. I have spent the last few hours trying to solve the problem to no avail. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Can't figure out why you're adding the max-width declaration to your global img tag. Remove that and all your images will flow normally:
img {
height: auto;
max-width: 100%; /* remove */
}

This is because of you max-width: 100% style, you're applying to img tag. In your case it is 23px only and this is because its parent .node .field-name-field-op-main-image has float: left, this means it will act as a inline element (but won't take into account width of you image or probably you set your image width later).
In other words remove either float:left or max-width:100% and you will get the "desired" result

I'm late to this party, but I just ran into this issue myself, and simply removing max-width or not floating the parent element were not options. As a result, I had to find a real solution: just add width:auto;, e.g.:
img {
height: auto;
width: auto;
max-width: 100%;
}
That ironically worked wonderfully in every browser but Chrome 20, which then began to behave as IE8 used to. So I resorted to a CSS hack to target IE8 only:
img {
height: auto;
width: auto\0/;
max-width: 100%;
}
Now before everyone freaks out, I chose a CSS hack because I'm making this particular change in the Bootstrap CSS Framework's reset, which already uses hacks in other places. If you want to go the white-hat route, then you can simple add a conditional comment to your HTML:
<!--[if !IE 8]>
<style type="text/css">
img { width: auto; }
</style>
<![endif]-->
One more note, if you're using the hack above in a *.less file, you have to escape it or the LESS compiler will choke on it:
width: e('auto\0/');

In my case for some reason IE8 did not want to obey the explicit width: 46px; CSS.
Fix: Adding min-width: 46px; forces IE8 to render the correct width without breaking other browsers.
