Menu
I'm trying to achieve the three-column layout generally described as the "holy grail" (see this ALA article) using the new display: flex syntax.
The requirements are as follows:
I got the first three requirements down with the following code:
<body>
<div class="container">
<header class="masthead">
<h1>The Header</h1>
</header>
<div class="side-left column">
Left sidebar
</div>
<div class="middle column">
Content goes here
</div>
<div class="side-right column">
Right sidebar
</div>
<footer class="footer">
© Footer
</footer>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
.container {
display: flex;
flex-flow: row wrap;
min-width: 500px;
max-width: 1100px;
}
.masthead {
flex: 1 100%;
}
.side-left,
.side-right {
flex: 0 0 150px;
}
.middle {
flex: 1;
}
.footer {
flex: 1 100%;
}

However, I'm stuck with the 100% height. I already tried setting either some of the columns or the container to height: 100% or min-height: 100% but none seem to work. Do I need one of the many other flex properties to handle this? I can't seem to see the forest through the trees.

.container { min-height: 100vh; }
