Extend divs height to fill up unused space

On http://ahti.stabe.de/blogRedesign/ I have a container (#wrapper) which contains #top, #navi and #cont.

In the case th开发者_如何学Goat not enough content is given in #cont (which is the case right now on 1680x1050) I want the white Background area to extend to the bottom of the page anyhow.

I tried setting height: 100%; on various elements, but this always caused a scrollbar to appear/the page to be scrollable by 1px or so.

Is there any solution to my problem?

If you use height: 100% to the #cont tag then you are making it 100% that ELEMENT to 100% the height of the window + whatever is on top/below it it doesn't fill 100% of the window like you think,
