To make an element take up 100% of the browser height using CSS, you can use the following CSS rules:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
main {
flex-grow: 1;
}
Here's a breakdown of what each part does:
html, body
selector: This targets both the<html>
and<body>
elements.height: 100%
: Sets the height of the<html>
and<body>
elements to 100% of the browser viewport.margin: 0
andpadding: 0
: Removes any default margin and padding applied by the browser.body
selector: Targets only the<body>
element.display: flex
: This enables flexbox layout on the<body>
element.flex-direction: column
: Specifies that the flex items should be laid out vertically.main
selector: Assumes you have a<main>
element that you want to fill the available height. You can replace this with any other element or class name you want to use.flex-grow: 1
: This instructs the<main>
element to grow and fill the remaining vertical space within the<body>
element.
By combining these CSS rules, the <body>
element will take up the full height of the browser window, and the <main>
(or any other chosen element) will expand to occupy the remaining space.
