How can I expand floated child div’s height to parent’s height?

For the parent element, add the following properties:

.parent {
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
}

then for .child-right these: 

.child-right {
    background:green;
    height: 100%;
    width: 50%;
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
}
