I have a web page where I have a header and a footer that are to stay on the top and bottom of the page at all times.
I want only the middle section of the page to scroll verticlly. The middle section of the page is a form and the footer contains the submit and reset buttons. I am not using frames on this page because i don't know how to submit a form from a different frame also i don't really like frames. I am using the overflow attribute on a div tag to make the middle section scroll right now. But i need a way to set its size depending on the users screen size. I know in javascript that screen.height will get me the screen size but i can't figure out how to get it into this line of code.
Can anyone help this struggling programming?

Ok that got the screen height into my VBScript
but now how do i get that into my div tag???

this is the javascript (i subtract 300 to account for the size of the header and footer)

function getHeight(){
return screen.height-300;
}

this is what i tried on the div tag and it isn't working

<div style="width:100%; height<% = Response.Write getHeight() %>; overflow: auto;">

Maybe this will point you into the right direction...

Code: 
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript>
function onPageLoad(){
document.getElementById("sw").value = screen.width;
document.getElementById("sh").value = screen.height;
document.getElementById("asw").value = window.screen.availWidth;
document.getElementById("ash").value = window.screen.availHeight;
document.getElementById("myform").submit();
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<BODY onload="Javascript:onPageLoad();">
<form id="myform" name="myform" method="post" action="default.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="sw" id="sw"/>
<input type="hidden" name="sh" id="sh"/>
<input type="hidden" name="asw" id="asw"/>
<input type="hidden" name="ash" id="ash"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
