Why doesn't height: 100% work to expand divs to the screen height?
To set the height to 100% for expanding divs to the screen height, set the entire document to −
html {
height: 100%;
}
First, we have set both the html and body to −
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
The div is set with height and min-height property −
#mydiv {
min-height: 100% !important;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid yellow;
width: 200px;
background: orange;
}
Under the <body>, we have our div for which we set the CSS property above −
<div id=mydiv> Demo Text </div>
Example
Let us now see the complete example −
<html>
<head>
<title>Example</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#mydiv {
min-height: 100% !important;
height: 100%;
border: 2px solid yellow;
width: 200px;
background: orange;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id=mydiv>
Demo Text
</div>
</body>
</html>
