With the above code the left hand side will have variable content and I need the div in the right hand div (the red box) to site at the bottom so its bottom edge is flush with the bottom of the left div height.
I've tried using auto top margin but I believe the problem is that I can't get the height of the right side div to match the left side div.
Is there some way with CSS to do this or do I have to resort to javascript to match the heights?
Is this what you're looking for?

Basically, the variable div controls the height of all other sibling divs through its parent div. Siblings absolutely positioned and height:100%.

Have you tried
margin-top: 0;

EDIT:
Here it is inside a container: http://jsfiddle.net/htfRw/2/
You really don't need to use float here at all. I'd recommend using display: inline-block instead, because you can then rely on the vertical-align property to vertically position your second <div> instead of using margin .
HTML:
<div>
testomgsgo<br/>
testete<br/>
testete<br/>
testete<br/>
testete<br/>
</div><div class="second">
<div></div>
</div>
Note that there is no space between the closing </div> and <div class="second">. Because both of these elements are inline elements, any whitespace in the markup will cause there to be small, horizontal space between the two elements.
CSS:
body > div {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #000;
vertical-align: bottom;
display: inline-block; }
.second div {
background: #FF0000;
width: 50px;
height: 50px; }

so here's an outside flex div with two childs, what is the easiest way to center content inside child1 by parent width, not by itself, without using padding's or margin's
<div title='parent' style='display: flex; width: 200px'>
<div title='child1' style='border:1px solid black; width: 100%; text-align: center'>
long
</div>
<div title='child2' style='border:1px solid red; width: 40px'>
</div>
</div>
text-indent can do the job here but use flex-grow:1 instead of width:100% to avoid shrinking the second element
<div title='parent' style='display: flex; width: 200px'>
<div title='child1' style='border:1px solid black; flex-grow:1; text-align: center;text-indent:40px'>
long
</div>
<div title='child2' style='border:1px solid red; width: 40px'>
</div>
</div>
I have the following HTML:
<div style="width:300px;background:yellow;">
<div style="float:left;border:solid 2px red;"><!--Img Div-->
<img src="https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/despicable-me-2-minions/128/Dancing-minion-icon.png">
</div>
<div style="border:solid 2px lime;float:left;"><!--Text Div-->
Banana!
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
I need to set the width of the Text Div such that it occupies the remaining width. I know this can be done by using width style attribute as width:164px;. What I needed to know is: Can this be done without setting the width manually using other css properties?
1) Remove float:left from the text div
2) Set overflow:hidden (or auto) on the text div
Updated fiddle
This creates a new block formatting context which causes the text div to fill the remaining width
Try this
<div style="width:300px;background:yellow;">
<div style="float:left;border:solid 2px red;"><!--Img Div-->
<img src="https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/despicable-me-2-minions/128/Dancing-minion-icon.png">
</div>
<div style="border:solid 2px lime;display:block; text-align: center; overflow: hidden;"><!--Text Div-->
Banana!
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>
I added display:block; text-align: center; overflow: hidden; and removed the float: left from the text div
use display:table for parent and display:table-cell for the one which you want the width to fill
Note : moved your styles outside
.top {
width: 300px;
background: yellow;
display: table;
}
.inside {
float: left;
border: solid 2px red;
}
.txt {
border: solid 2px lime;
display: table-cell;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
}
.clear {
clear: both;
}
<div class="top">
<div class="inside">
<!--Img Div-->
<img src="https://cdn2.iconfinder.com/data/icons/despicable-me-2-minions/128/Dancing-minion-icon.png" />
</div>
<div class="txt">
<!--Text Div-->Banana!</div>

I have two divs inside a div. I want the second div to fill up to the bottom of the container. I tried various height: 100%;, height: inherit;, height: auto;, etc. and different values for display css property, but didn't succeed. Please help.
Html:
<div style='height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;'>
<div style='background-color: red;'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div style='height: inherit; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
Fiddle
Note: The second div has some rows and then a footer. I want the rows to be hidden as per the height. But the footer of the second div should be visible.
Another note:
The container is re-sizable (using JQuery Re-size). Hence I do not want to set the height of the second div. That will make it static. I want the second div to have dynamic height. i.e. Expanding yo the bottom of the container, always.
Try This
**overflow:hidden;**
<div style='height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;overflow:hidden;'>
<div style='background-color: red;'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div style='height: inherit; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
Or Else you have to master div height auto and inner keep 100% some content inside.
<div style='height: auto; width: 100px; background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;'>
<div style='background-color: red;'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div style='height: 100%; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
when you do height: inherit;, the target container acquires the height of parent, that's why, your inner green div is taking height:100px and hence it is overshooting.
You should NOT DO overflow:hidden, as it will eat up your lower content.
What you should do is to either give percentage height to both your containers like
<div id="parentDiv" style='height: 100px; width: 100px;
background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;'>
<div id="topDiv" style='background-color: red;height:30%'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div id="lowerDiv" style='height: 70%; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
or use javascript to set height of your containers, something like
$(window).resize(function(){
var _heightT= $('#parentDiv').height();
$('#topDiv').height(_height*0.3);
$('#lowerDiv').height(_height*0.7);
})
I would suggest to give your Parent container a fixed height(deduced according to the window size, through javascript/jQuery), so that it is consistent across all browsers, and your inner containers, a percentage height, or atleast your top container a fixed height, and lower container a min-height and overflow-y:auto
How about something like this:
HTML:
<div id="con">
<div id="top">
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div id="bottom">sdsdfsdfsdfs sdfs dfsdf sdf sd ff</div>
</div>
CSS:
#con {
height: 200px;
width: 100px;
background-color: black;
border: 3px solid black;
position: relative;
}
#top {
background-color: red;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
#bottom {
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
background-color: #F5F5F5;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
background-color: green;
}
Take a look and see what you think. (you will have to push down inside to put text etc using padding-top: 20px;
DEMO HERE
Very simple:
<div style='overflow:hidden;height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;'>
<div style='background-color: red;'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div style='height: inherit; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
You could use a percentage based height like you suggested, but the thing is when you set the bottom div to height:100%; that means 100% of the parent div's height which is 100px and it'll go outside the box, instead you could give the top div a 25% height and the bottom div 75% height, like this:
<div style='height: 100px; width: 100px; background-color: black; border: 3px solid black;'>
<div style='height:25%; background-color: red;'>
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div style='height: 75%; background-color: green;'>
</div>
</div>
Fiddle
When you do height:inherit, it takes the height value from the parent div, which is the same as saying height:100%. But this causes the div to overflow because there is another inner-div child inside the main container div, which is taking a height equal to the default line-height of the label tag. You can try giving the inner div tags separate heights:
HTML:(same as your markup, just adding classes so you don't have to give inline styling)
<div class="p">
<div class="c1">
<label>Test</label>
</div>
<div class="c2"></div>
</div>
CSS:
.p {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
background-color: black;
border: 3px solid black;
}
.c1 {
height:20%;
background-color: red;
}
.c2 {
height: 80%;
background-color: green;
}
DEMO
You can do this with display:table property in CSS. See more
Add display:table to the wrap div and display:table-row for the children.

UPDATE
According that we don't want to use overflow:hidden

I'm trying to get my textarea and div to be side by side and have the run button underneath but I'm not sure why it isn't working.
The output looks like this:
http://codeeplus.net/test.php
CSS:
.CodeMirror { height: 400px; width: 500px; border: 1px solid #ddd; }
.CodeMirror-scroll { max-height: 400px; }
.CodeMirror pre { padding-left: 7px; line-height: 1.25; }
#drawing { border: 1px solid #555555; float:left; width:480px; height: 400px; }
HTML:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 10px; top: 10px; padding: 10px; width:50%; height: 50%; border: 1px solid #000000;">
<div style="float:left">
<textarea align="left" style="overflow:auto;" id="demotext" name="textarea">
<html>
<head>
<title>Learning HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>I'm learning HTML! This is my first line of code!</p>

</html></textarea>
</div>
<div style="float:left;">
<div id="drawing" style="text-align:left;padding:10px;"></div>
</div>
<input type="button" id="run" value="Run" />
</div>
I would use two div's one to wrap around your text area and one to wrap around your other div. This way you can just use float: left; to put them both side by side :)
your code seems have many problems :), I made some changes:
remove float:left; from divs
set display:inline-block;
add clear:both tag before button
remove width:50%; and height:50% form first div
look at new HTML:
<div style="position: absolute; left: 10px; top: 10px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid #000000;">
<div style="display:inline-block; vertical-align:top;">
<textarea align="left" style="overflow:auto;" id="demotext" name="textarea">
<head>
<title>Learning HTML</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>I'm learning HTML! This is my first line of code!</p>

<div style="display:inline-block">
<div id="drawing" style="text-align:left;padding:10px;"></div>
</div>
<div style="clear:both"></div>
<input type="button" id="run" value="Run" />
</div>
jsFiddle is here
You should use display: inline-block; property here, on the elements you want to align in one line:
div {
display:inline-block;
}
Online Example
The default value for div tags is display:block;
EDIT 1:
I have checked your page. The div that you're trying to align in is not aligning, because your parent div has width:50% and it's simply not fitting in there. Try changing it to, let's say width:100% and see that it really works!
EDIT 2:
Also remember, that if you use padding, as you apparently do on your page, it's affecting the actual (final) width of the element. For example, if you set the parent div's width: 1200px and padding as padding:10px;, then the actual div's size will be 1160px, cutting 10px on each side.

This is not working. They overlap fine, but there are issues. The goal is to:
Get the #container to properly wrap around the children divs.
Have the .box divs fill (width & height) the parent #container (so the green borders should reach all the way out to the thick black border).
This must be possible, I'm just having a hard time with positioning. (that and floats seem to be the toughest parts of CSS)
Thanks for any help.
The problem you have here is that anything that is position: absolute; is removed from flow. Thus, #container can never contain the .boxes. In this cause you will need to set height and width on #container and make sure the .boxes can never expand beyond it. You requested they fill the #container, so I've done that here: http://jsfiddle.net/X3EJ6/
Note though that because width and height are set to 100% the borders will not work correctly. You will need to set explicit values or use box-sizing and set it to border-box (this is not support in IE < 8).

#container {
border: 2px solid #000;
