 I don't know of a comprehensive article, but we have a wiki page with 
 the basic info:
 http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=100PercentHeight
 

thanks, found that one now

the link to this article on the frontpage does not work:
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FrontPage

additional questions on min-height:

1. what is the best min-height hack for browsers that do not suport
min-height?
where best is:
- works in all (most) today's browsers (including IE 6+ and Safari)
- with no (hardly) disadvantages

2. can this be combined with every type of lay-out / positioning model?

This is a possible solution to making min/max work in IE:

Haven't used it personally, though.

 through google i found in some forums tips for specific user questions,

 solutions, pros cons, etc.) how you should tackle this goal
 something ALA (or comparable) like

 please some links / tips

Hi Erik,
I think these are the best explanations i've found:

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail/

This outlines a good 3 column layout and the associated pros and 
cons as well as a description of how to create full length columns. Its 
a pity but browser support can vary, I think its Opera 8 has some problems.

This is my preferred method and uses a graphic to create a false 
column, unfortunately it needs to be fixed width (although that can 
sometimes be a good thing):

Hope this helps,
   Rob
