Nevermind I can see now this is impossible without using JSS. I'm just going to use tables. Thats right. You guys heard me. Tables can do more than your stupid standards compliant div + css. Css and div layers are inferior.

I wouldn't say that. The biggest hurdle is cross-browser compatibility on this one. IE's failure to recognize min-height, for instance.
Might need to wait for CSS 3.0 for this issue to become a possibility. Using equations to calculate positioning and height/width, etc.

#div{position:absolute;top:100px;bottom:0px;width:auto;left:0px;overflow:auto;}
</style>

Try it now.

That good?

Nick's code works in both IE and FF. I don't have Opera. By giving it a bg color I can see that it works.

EDIT: It doesn't work if the content is longer than the screen length, i.e. if user needs to scroll down...interesting......this is the type of problem that I can become obsessed with......I----------must----------resist------------obsessing---------------

Yes that was my first attempt. I thought I found it and wouldn't have to post this on trap, but ran into the problem that mikeyboy discovered in his edit.
