I've searched and tried a bunch of different things. I have a variable-height tophalf, and the bottom half should fill up the remaining space. A JSfiddle:

CSS:

.top {
    background-color: lightblue;
    height: 300px;
}
.bottom {
    background-color: green;
    min-height: 100px;
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 100%;
}

html, body {
    height: 100%;
}

HTML:

<div class="top"></div>
<div class="bottom">

</div>

What I'm seeing now is the green page taking up the entire window's height, not the remaining height. How can I make it take the remaining height instead?
