How to do to avoid having the scroller with a sticky footer to the bottom of the page (not bottom of window)?
When I remove height=100% from content and sidebar, I’m no more getting the scroller. However, when doing so, my content and sidebar do not fill all the space down to the footer.

    Here is finally one solution (I don’t remember where I get this code …. it’s not mine 😉 ) :

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<title>CSS Layout - 100% height</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    height: 100%; /* needed for container min-height */;
    background: gray;
    font-family: arial,sans-serif;
    font-size: small;
    color: #666;
}
div#container {
    position: relative; /* needed for footer positioning*/;
    margin: 0 auto;
/* center, not in IE5 */    width: 750px;
    background: #f0f0f0;
    height: auto !important; /* real browsers */;
    height: 100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/;
    min-height: 100%; /* real browsers */
}
div#header {
    padding: 1em;
    /*background: #ddd url("../csslayout.gif") 98% 10px no-repeat;*/
    border-bottom: 6px double gray;
}
div#content {
    padding: 1em 1em 5em; /* bottom padding for footer */
}
div#footer {
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    bottom: 0; /* stick to bottom */;
    background: #ddd;
    border-top: 6px double gray;
}
</style>
</head>

<body>

<div id="container">
    <div id="header">
        entete  </div>

    <div id="content">
        contenu </div>
    <div id="footer">
        pied de page
    </div>
</div>

</body>
