I tried the following code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

   <style type="text/css">
        #outer {
            width: 90%;
            height: 90%;
            margin: 5% 5% 5% 5%;
            background-color: #333;
        }
        #left-content {
            height: 90%;
            width: 50%;
            padding: 2em;
        }
        #right-content {
            height: 90%;
            width: 50%;
            padding: 2em;
        }
    </style>

    <div id="outer" style="display: block">
      <div id="left-content" style="display: block">xx</div>
      <div id="right-content" style="display: block">xx</div>
    </div>

</body>
</html>

However the outer DIV still doesn’t fill much of the screen. How can I make it so this DIV fills the 90% and just leaves a 5% border?

    You need to give your html and body a height:

    body, html{
    height: 100%;
}
