Fill remaining space

HTML
<div class="as-table">
<div id="header">
<p>This header can vary in height, it also doesn't have to be displayed as table-row. It will simply take the necessary space and the rest below will be taken by the second div which is displayed as table-row. Now adding some copy to artificially expand the header.</p>
<div class="additional-padding"></div>
</div>
<div class="as-table-row">
<div id="content">
<p>This is the actual content that takes the rest of the available space.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
