    fixed height.

    I am new to CSS and I want to have a fixed width web page that covers
    the entire area on the browser window. Something like http://maps.google.com


    I want the height to be equal to browser window... not 100%

    How can I accomplish that?


    Thanks in advance for all the help.

      100% IS the height of the browser window.

      Cheers,

              Wait a minute; you don't understand only the part that you quoted? You
              actually understand and accept this:
              >I want to have a fixed width web page that covers
              >the entire area on the browser window.
              ?

              I think my brain is missing some important vitamins...

                  I couldn't understand it either, but it occurs to me that this could
                  mean the OP wants to cover up the browser's toolbars and menus and other
                  decorations with content.

                  This is theoretically possible if you set overflow: visible on the root
                  element (which means setting it on BODY in an HTML UA, the usual
                  weirdness).

                  You could then set height: 110% or so on BODY, but you would have to
                  guess how far to go.

                  But most desktop window managers don't ever allow a window's contents to
                  jump outside it.

                      Nobody really knows what you want.

                      But lets look at maps.google.com .

                      How is that done? Well that is an AJAX script that uses a variety of
                      client side scripting and absolutely and relatively positioned divs.

                      What I think you want to know is overflow which would be applied to a
                      fixed width/height div. I believe it could also work with an IFRAME.
