css vertical column won't go 100% vertical -


my web site http://davewagnerart.com/index.html

i'd black column has thumbnails on left go way bottom of site... can't seem that. css thumbs is:

#thumbnails  {     position:absolute;     top: 110px;     width: 190px;     height: 100%;     min-height: 100%;     background-color: #000000; } 

you must set height of body , html elements well.

html, body {    height:100%; } 

telling child element (#thumbnails) 100% height, looks parents see how big are, , 100% of them. if parent elements dont know how big are, child element can't told.

you can learn viewports if you're interested
