Answer 1

Let’s start from the easiest and go to the most complicated. To make the content visible, you need to add the overflow: scroll in the column.

Regarding the height: 100% which is the most complicated part of it. You need to declare a reference size that is the parent of the node. This is an old CSS problem where you can’t change the size without having a reference. Something like body: 600px.

With CSS3 an alternative called view height and view width. With it you can get 100% on any device, but you have some compatibility issues. Supports only exist for IE9+ and there is no support for Opera mini. You can browse the list here.

And follow the example of the class.

.content {
    height: 100vh;
    overflow: scroll;
}

Answer 2

In addition to the above mentioned alternative by @flpms it is possible to find out the screen size, and through jquery implement in your css this height.

var altura = $(window).height();
$(".coluna").css("height",altura);

Thus passing the height of your screen to the column, so always having 100%.
