1 Watch out for browser compatibility on min and max. – Evan Plaice Jun 17 '10 at 6:27 Changed it to min height and the it still won't expand when the content goes past the window border. – Thqr Jun 17 '10 at 6:27 min height works in Firefox. But not chrome or IE.

Short solution is give height auto to both divs.
