Fill remaining screen height with CSS
I'm building a page layout with 3 divs: a header and a footer wi开发者_高级运维th fixed heights in pixels, and a content div in the middle of the page that should fill the remaining screen height. Furthermore, I want to be able to set height to 100% in the inner content divs, because one of them will host a kind of drawing area that need to fill the remaining screen height. So, it's especially important that inner divs do not leak under the header or footer. So far, I achieved a 100% valid CSS solution that work in all majors browsers except Internet Explorer 6 & 7.
Is there anything I can do to fix my layout for IE6 & 7? Or, do you see another way to do what I want?
Here is the code:

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>The #content div fill the remaining height and appears to have a height</title>
<style TYPE="text/css">
