I want a div’s width and height to change with the browser as the browser’s width and height are changed when a user changes their browses dimensions.

Code added based on the answers suggestion

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico"> 
    <meta charset='UTF-8'>
    <%= stylesheet_link_tag 'application' %>
    <title>Some Company - Terms and Conditions</title>
</head>
<body >
<div>
    some anchor links here go to the content inside the div below
    </div>
   <div style="position: absolute; top: 100; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0;overflow:auto;padding:10px;border:1px solid lightblue;">
     content here
    </div>
</body>

Here was the end result:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Terms and Conditions</title></head>
<body>
<a href="#tac20">Terms and Conditions 20</a> | <a href="#tac40">Terms and Conditions 40</a>

    The right solution depends on the layout of the page. If you just have a single div you want to fill the browser window, I find this CSS the easiest solution:

    #theDiv { position: absolute; top: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; right: 0; }
