Css Divs Overflow

Question

I have 2 divs, the first div should adapt the height to the content, and the second div should be the height of the remainder. The second div should scroll to show all elements. This is a template.

here is my example JSFiddle link I don't want javascript, only CSS

<div class="tbl">
  <div class="header">
    <p>1</p>
    <p>2</p>
  </div>
  <div class="body">
    <div class="in-body">
        <p>3</p>
        <p>4</p>
        <p>5</p>
        <p>6</p>
        <p>7</p>
        <p>8</p>
        <p>9</p>
        <p>10</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Answer 1

Here it is. I made the second div at least 35% of the window height. If you want the minimum height of the second div to be higher or less, adjust 65vh on the wrapper. (100vh is the viewport, not the height of the wrapper - the second height of the div).

body {
  margin: 0;
}
.wrapper {
  width: 35%;
  max-height: 65vh;
  position: relative;
}
.first,
.second {
  width: 100%;
  color: white;
  padding: 15px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
.first {
  background-color: green;
}
.second {
  background-color: blue;
  position: absolute;
  height: calc(100vh - 100%);
  top: 100%;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="first">
    kitsch flannel direct trade listicle ramps truffaut.
  </div>
  <div class="second">
