A quick, non-elegant but working standalone solution with inline CSS and no jQuery requirements. AFAIK it works from IE9 too.
<body style="overflow:hidden; margin:0">
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="main" style="background-color:red">
<div id="content">
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>
</form>
<script language="javascript">
function autoResizeDiv()
{
document.getElementById('main').style.height = window.innerHeight +'px';
}
window.onresize = autoResizeDiv;
autoResizeDiv();
</script>
</body>
