I don't know, wheter I write to the right forum, but I'll try. Nowadays can be noticed heightened interest of internet aplications based on light HTML client. By implementation of aplication GUI isn't suitable to use common web-layout, where the page with large content can whole scroll. Some parts of the aplication-page have to allways stay visible (navigation, header, footer). This parts have normal fixed width or height. On the other hand is very pleasant, when content of the page can fill whole viewport. I very offten need to use below described layout and nearly always nested (means the part CONTENT again contains element with the same layout, that fills whole CONTENT). But the CSS offer no possibility, how to say that height or width of an element have to fill the rest of content-box. Layout fills 100% of width and 100% of height his content-box: +------------------------------------------------+ | width: 100%; height: 100px; | +----------------+-------------------------------+ | width: 300px; | width: rest; | | height: rest; | height: rest; | | | | | | | | | CONTENT | | | | | | | | | | +----------------+-------------------------------+ I sugesst to define new value "rest" for atributes width and height with the meaning, that the box of element fills all the remaining space of the content-box.
