I don't know if this would work but what happens if the div is in a table?

You could try setting the table's first row to a fixed pixel height for the
header and the second table row height to 99%. Then maybe if the div tag is
inside the second table row its 100% setting will make it fill the table row
and not the whole page?

I have no idea if this will work. It's just an idea to try.
