I have a question about the difference between setting the height of a div to auto versus 100%. Does auto mean that the div height will be the height of the content plus padding, and 100% mean that the div height will be 100% of the height of its container?

Only if the height of its container is specified
*parent container
But other then that yeah

Ok, so how do I get the height of my outermost div (the container) to stretch to the bottom of the browser window even if the content of the div is not big enough?

[ovigo22]

Using javascript? or set your body's height to 100% ?

Ah, I didn't realize that the body could have a height
