Alright 20 credits goes to the first person to successfully solve my problem.

I need a div layer who's position is absolute to be 100 pixels from the top of the window and 0 pixels from the bottom without it going over. I have lost all faith in CSS because it cannot do this simple task that I require it to do.

Bonus points if you can get it to work on a div layer who's width isn't fixed.

EDIT: oh yeah It has to work in all browsers too...

Ehh... not exactly the first time. You should read some of my early topics when I was a little noob programmer and didn't really know anything. But anyway, I wouldn't really consider css as a programming language, or even as "code". Its more like "annoying text that makes your page not suck as much when you can get it to work but otherwise is just a pain in the..." well you get the idea.

I agree... if it were efficient I would sit down and use tables since they're easy but problem is you cant always do what you need to do!

You need an expandable div that is set to limit of being 100pixels from the top of the window and goes all the way to the bottom? Sorry trying to make sure I understand correctly

Yes thats exactly what I need. If you can make me something that works in all browsers to do this then you can have my 20 credits.

This sounds like you need some Javascript to insert dynamic CSS into the page and use AJAX to reload the page whenever the window size is changed. Or CSS I believe can do the trick. I know that you can stack another 100px div on top as a filler and have the other with a height of the rest of the window.

This sounds like a challenge but I don't think I will be attempting this anytime soon. I've come across articles dealing with using JS to dynamically alter layouts on window resizing by the user but never looked into it. There would be no need for AJAX as JS alone should be enough since its all happening on the client side. If anyone comes up with a solution let us see!

Well, here is a small code that could do it. I am not sure if it works in all browsers. Check it. It uses a margin to lower it by 100px.

CSS:
CODE
* { padding: 0 0 0 0; }
//Must set padding to 0 for Opera.

body {
//Set top margin to be 100px
margin-top:100px;
//Set rest of margins to be 0
margin-left:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}

.lowereddiv {
//Set height to fill rest of page
height:100%
}
