    Div with dynamic height and scrolling content

    I have a page with a content-div that scrolls and has a dynamic height.
    I do this with position absolute, top and bottom. I can do this if the
    other parts (divs) in the page over the scrolling part has the same
    height-unit. To get the top value I add all the other heights together.
    E.g. 2em + 1em + 3em = 6em.

    Is it possible to accomplish this with parts having different
    height-units (one is in %, another is in px and so on)? I know I can
    fix this with a table.

    Can I use bottom and right on a position-relative element?

    The page:

    publicity banner on top)

      How would you add px and em for instance, where px is absolute and em
      depending on browser setting and/or text zoom level? Seems contradictory.

      Why do you use/want/need absolute positioning?

      I wouldn't know why not. You?

      FWIW, I did not see a banner. Does this happen only occasionally? How
      does that affect your pixel-perfect layouts?

          Do you have an answer or not? Do you know if it's possible? If so -
          how?
          Why or why not I want to mix px, % or em is not inportant!
          Or have you not understood my question?

          Can I use bottom and right on a position-relative element?

          Have a sample url. As I see it it doesn't work with position-relative.
