I myself found the answer.
HTM:
<div class="parent">
<div class="child">
something...
</div>
</div>
CSS
.parent {
position: relative;
width:1280px;
max-width: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 30px;
}
.parent:before {
margin-top: 25%;
content: '.';
font-size: 0;
display: inline-block;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
background-color: red;
max-height: 100%;
}
margin-top.parent: . div.
