Height: 100% inside min-height: 100%

How would you get a height: 10开发者_如何学Go0% inside a min-height: 100% working?

---

I usually use:

position: absolute;
height: 100%;

And on the outer div:

position: relative;
min-height: 100%;

Using static positioning doesn't work, because the browser needs the outer div's height to calculate the inner div's height. But it doesn't know the outer div's height until it has calculated the inner div's...

However, my solution can't be used in many situations. Maybe someone else has a better one.
