Clever CSS ideas out there?

Is there a way via CSS to dynamically calculate the height of a content panel in a VP?

I need to have a VP with stacked grids that I don't want to have to specify the height in px as I won't know how big a window the causer will have.

Well, not really but I use the last content panel (ID in content panel HTML) and calculate the entire length of the page from that (not exactly your scenario but you can probably tweak it to what you´re after):

var h = $(".page-footer").offset().top;

I then use the following to set the height of a particular div (it stretches the entire length of the page):

$("aside").css("height", h);

Interesting, do you then use a specific css class to use those values?

I follow what the steps are doing but don't have the tech savvy to understand the next steps.

I recommend you read up on jQuery offset.top and .css which should tell you all you need to know (also had a lot of examples etc.).
