Menu
I'm new to this. I'm trying to make a webpage with 100vh height, where the header and footer will take 80px and 50px respectively. Whatever space is left in middle should be taken over by a grid container completely. I did succeed so far, but the middle container is taking only as much as its content needs. Please see the below image for refrence:
Also, I was under the impression that the footer tag will put the section at the bottom of the viewport automatically. But that's not happening either. Do I have to use absolute positioning?
* {
margin: 0px;

Flexbox solution:
body or the flexbox container: min-height: 100vh;.header: height: 80px; and to the footer: height: 50px;.main or content-box consume the remaining space by adding: flex-grow: 1;body {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
}
header {
height: 80px;
}
footer {
height: 50px;
}
main {
flex-grow: 1;
}
/* for demonstration purpose only */
body {
margin: 0;
}
header,
footer,
main {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
header {
background-color: pink;
}
main {
background-color: lightblue;
}
footer {
background-color: lightgreen;
}<header>Header</header>
<main>Content</main>
<footer>Footer</footer>CSS-Grid solution:
body or the grid-container: min-height: 100vh;grid-template-rows: 80px auto 50px; which means that auto will consume all remaining space.body {
height: 100vh;
display: grid;
grid-template-rows: 80px auto 50px;
}
/* for demonstration purpose only */
body {
margin: 0;
}
header,
footer,
main {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
header {
background-color: pink;
}
main {
background-color: lightblue;
}
footer {
background-color: lightgreen;
}<header>Header</header>
