I'm trying to put together a simple 3 row layout in CSS. It needs:
- A main container div (100% width, 100% height) which holds...
- A sticky header (fixed height of 48px)
- A middle section that fills all remaining space in-between the header and footer
- A sticky footer (initial height of 62px, but can change after page-load via javascript)
Here's what I've got so far:
HTML
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="headContainer">
...
</div>
<div id="bodyContainer">
Stuff goes here
</div>
<div id="footContainer">
...
</div>
</div>
</body>

I'm struggling to work out how I get the 'bodyContainer' to fill the available space between the header and footer. If the footer was a fixed size, this would be a lot easier!
Any tips?
