Div with min-height and the child div have the height of parent.
Is it possible with only CSS or javascript is needed?
Example:
#main {
min-height: 300px;
width: 100%;
}
#menu, #content {
float: left;
width: 50%;
}
#menu {
height: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
<div id="main">
<div id="menu">menu</div>
<div id="content">content</div>
<div>
may be you can give position:absolute
to your content div
to make it's equal height of it's parent
css:
#main {
min-height: 300px;
width: 100%;
position:relative;
background-color: yellow;
}
#menu, #content {
float: left;
width: 50%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#menu {
height: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
position:absolute;
top:0;
right:0;
}

EDIT
there are other option also . You can give min-height
to your content
div also if the content increase the height of the main
div also increase.
#content {
height: 100%;
min-height:300px;
background-color: green;
}

I would try this:
In this case I forced same min height for the child div when there is less content.
If content exceeds, the automatic overflow.
#content {
min-height: 300px;
overflow:auto;
background-color: green;
}
This is how we have content div in our nested master page.
Hope same will work for you.
Thanks
i think its not possible.
but you can try something like this. jsFiddle
#main {
width: 100%;
height:300px;
min-height:300px;
}
#menu,
#content{
float: left;
display:inline;
width: 50%;
position:relative;
}
#menu {
height: 150px;
background-color: red;
}
#content {
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
