height = 100% or full screened

[LetItBe]

hey there

i'm coding a site which is totally based on css. but i have a problem.
site needs to be 100% in width. no problems, in css i just set it:

...
width: 100%;
...

secondly, i need to have it in full (100%) height and i set it:

...
height: 100%;
...

but here we go - it doesn't work. why? how can i set the height in full view on browser? you see, i can set it in pixels for example 700px (on resolution 1024*768) but what if the resolution of visitor is 1600*1200? then the view of the site is ugly!

have any ideas?

thanks, guys!

Perhaps something like this:

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