Answer 1

Take this out of css for #right{} :

margin:0 15px;

This will make it wide 100%. I'm a little confused on the 100% height. Did you meant wide?

Answer 2

Here's 2 Pure CSS solution

Without fixing any height (header/footer) or width (left column).

I actually prefer the second solution. (even tho he has less browser support)

1 - using CSS tricks

this is a totally responsive design and work well with all browsers (IE10, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera, mobile browsers)

Working Fiddle

HTML:

<div class="Container">
    <div class="Header">
    </div>
    <div class="HeightTaker">
        <div class="Wrapper Container Inverse">
            <div>
                <div class="Footer">
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="HeightTaker">
                <div class="Wrapper">
                    <div class="LeftMenu">
                    </div>
                    <div class="Content">
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

*
{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
html, body, .Container
{
    height: 100%;
}
    .Container:before
    {
        content: '';
        height: 100%;
        float: left;
    }
.HeightTaker
{
    position: relative;
    z-index: 1;
}
    .HeightTaker:after
    {
        content: '';
        clear: both;
        display: block;
    }
.Wrapper
{
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}
.Inverse, .Inverse > *
{
    -moz-transform: rotateX(180deg);
    -ms-transform: rotateX(180deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(180deg);
    -webkit-transform: rotateX(180deg);
    transform: rotateX(180deg);
}
.LeftMenu
{
    height: 100%;
    float: left;
}
.Content
{
    overflow: auto;
    height: 100%;
}

/*For demonstration only*/
p
{    
    font-size: 1.3em;
}

.Important
{
    font-weight: bolder;
    color: white;
}

body > .Container
{
    text-align: center;
}

.Header
{
    background-color: #bf5b5b;
}
.LeftMenu
{
    background-color:  #bdbe4c;
}

.Content
{
    background-color: #90adc1;
}
.Footer
{
    background-color: #b5a8b7;
}

2 - using Flex

This layout can also be achieved using flex, but the current browser support is pure. Here's a Working Fiddle only FF,Chrome,IE10.

HTML: (simpler)

<header>
</header>
<section class="Middle">
    <div class="LeftMenu">
    </div>
    <div class="Content">
    </div>
</section>
<footer>
</footer>

CSS:

*
{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
html, body
{
    height: 100%;
    text-align: center;
}

body
{
    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flex;

    -webkit-flex-direction: column;
    -ms-flex-direction: column;
    flex-direction: column;
}

.Middle
{    
    -webkit-flex: 1 1 auto;
    -ms-flex: 1 1 auto;
    flex: 1 1 0;

    display: -webkit-flex;
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    display: flex;

    overflow: hidden;
}

.Content
{   
    -webkit-flex: 1 1 auto;
    -ms-flex: 1 1 auto;
    flex: 1 0 0;

    overflow: auto;
}

/*For demonstration only*/
p
{    
    font-size: 1.3em;
}

.Important
{
    font-weight: bolder;
    color: white;
}

header
{
    background-color: #bf5b5b;
}
.LeftMenu
{
    background-color:  #bdbe4c;
}

.Content
{
    background-color: #90adc1;
}
footer
{
    background-color: #b5a8b7;
}

Answer 3

I restructured your html a bit. Is that your desired outcome?

jsfiddle

<div id="container">
<div id="wrap">
    <div id="header">
        header
    </div>

    <div id="body">
        <div id="left">
            left
        </div>

        <div id="right">
            right<br>
            right<br>
            right<br>
            right<br>
            right<br>
        </div>
    </div>

</div>
</div>

<div id="footer">
    <p>footer</p>
</div>

css

html, body {
    height: 100%;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
}

#container {
    height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    min-height: 100%;
}

#wrap {
    overflow: auto;
    padding-bottom: 16px;
}

#header {
    height: 104px;
    background:#d5a1b3;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}

#body {
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 100%;
}

#right {
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 220px;
    background:#FFF;
}

#left {
    width: 219px;
    float: left;
    background:#a2d025;
}

#footer {
    background:#ed653a;
    border-top: 1px solid #000;
    position: relative;
    height: 20px;
    margin-top: -21px;
    clear: both;
}
#footer p {
    margin: 0px;
}

Answer 4

Try this:

#right{
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    position: relative;
    overflow:hidden;
    background:#FFF;
    margin:0 15px;
    -webkit-border-radius: 7px;
    -moz-border-radius: 7px;
    border-radius: 7px;
    padding:14px;

    top: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
}

Add top: 0px; bottom: 0px; to your #right css

Answer 5

Important will over-ride other CSS attributes and auto will make the div as large as it needs to be to fit the contents.

height: auto !important; 
height: 100%;
