Height in percentage not working

as you can see on this jsfiddle http://jsfiddle.net/Grek/yLrC8/, I tried to set a height of 70% for my Article DIV in order to have the height of the DIV always equal to 70% of the user browser size (but with a min height of 400px) but for some rason it's not working. Would you know why? Thanks

<div class="menu">
      <div class="inner"> <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com/index.html" class="logo">Gregory</a>
    <ul>
          <li > <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com">Category 1</a> </li>
          <li > <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com">Category 2</a> </li>
          <li > <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com">Category 3</a> </li>
          <li > <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com">Category 4</a> </li>
          <li > <a href="www.dfdsfdsfs.com">Category 5</a> </li>

You could try something like this:

.article {
    position:absolute;
    text-align:justify;
    width: 450px;
    min-height:400px;
    height:70%;
    right:0;
    padding: 50px 32px 49px 62px;
    margin-right:75px;
    z-index: 15;
    margin-top: 90px;
    background: #ccc;
    overflow-y: scroll !important;
}

with positioning the article absolute you can also exactly define where you want it to be (e.g. how far form top and how far form bottom of its scope) and instead of the float I set now right:0;. Now you just need to make sue the right (the one you want) parental container is set to position:relative; with a certain height so you use 70% of the one you want.

If you want the window/viewport to bi its scope, you have to position it fixed.
