CSS 100% Height, and then Scroll DIV not page
<html>
<body style="overflow:hidden;">
<div style="overflow:auto; position:absolute; top: 0; left:0; right:0; bottom:0">
</div>
</body>
</html>
That should do it for a simple case
I believe this will work for your case
<html>
<body style="overflow:hidden;">
<div id="header" style="overflow:hidden; position:absolute; top:0; left:0; height:50px;"></div>
<div id="leftNav" style="overflow:auto; position:absolute; top:50px; left:0; right:200px; bottom:50px;"></div>
<div id="mainContent" style="overflow:auto; position:absolute; top:50px; left: 200px; right:0; bottom:50px;"></div>
<div id="footer" style="overflow:hidden; position:absolute; bottom:0; left:0; height:50px"></div>
</body>
</html>
this example will give you a static header and footer and allow the navigator and content area to be scrollable.
CSS - DIV not scrolling to the bottom, when height is 100%
There are different ways to achieve this.
1. Using calc. Where 67px is the height of the header.
Changes:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
section#mobile-menu {
width: 100%;
height: calc(100% - 67px);
background: #fff;
z-index: 999;
display: none;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
2. Making your header position:absolute; and give the body padding-top:67px;.
DEMO
Changes:
* {
box-sizing:border-box;
}
body {
padding-top:67px;
margin:0;
}
section#header {
padding: 15px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
background: #fff;
height: 67px;
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
width:100%;
}
Making scrollable div 100% height of parent container
Try this:

CSS:
html,
body {
height: 100%;
/*border: 1px solid red;*/
}
nav.navbar {
margin: 0;
}
.table-row {
height: calc(100vh - 53px);
display: flex;
}
.table-col {
display: flex;
width: 100%;
}
#eventsContainer {
height: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
width: calc(100% - 15px);
}
I checked in firefox, chrome and IE(edge), it works..
I hope this helps you
Height 100% causes scroll bar to appear
the border: solid blue 5px; is causing the scroll bar to appear.
It ends up having 10px more height than the parent element "body" (5px bottom +5px
top).
if you really need a border, you subtract it from the 100%.
setting div to height: 100% makes scrollbar disabled
I'm assuming that by "take up all the available height the browser offers" you mean you want the divs to take up 100% of the viewport. The reason this is not happening in your code is that you have only set the height of the divs to 100%. This means they will take up the full height of their parent element, .container, but you have not set the height of that element (or the height of its parent, body, or the height of its parent, html). You need to set the height of all three of those elements.
In addition, I would explicitly set the margin on body. If you do not, then it defaults to 8px in Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, but it may default to some other number in older versions or other browsers. If you set the margin to 0, then for html and body you can set the height to 100%. If you want the margin of body to be 8px or some other non-zero number, then you need to account for that in the height of html and body. (e.g. height: calc(100% - 8px).

Div 100% height scroll
Using min-height: 100% instead of height: 100% should fix it. See updated fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/zitrusfrisch/Sa6cb/3/
