I have a div called "content" which I wish to at least take up the entire height of a window.
So what I did was this:
body
{
min-height:100%;
height:auto !important;
/* The following probably aren't relevant but I'll include them just in case */
min-width:600px;
color: #fff;
font-family:'lucida grande',verdana,helvetica,arial,sans-serif;
font-size:90%;
margin: 0;
}
div#content
{
min-height:100%;
/* The following probably aren't relevant but I'll include them just in case */
clear: both;
color: #333;
padding: 10px 20px 40px 20px;
position:relative;
background:url(/img/strawberry.png) right bottom no-repeat;
}
Using firebug, I verified that indeed is now taking up the entire page (even when there's no content on the page. Just as I wanted)
However the problem is, content is not taking up the entire height of , but instead being only as large as its internal contents.
EDIT: Seems to work in chrome 7.0.517.41, but not in firefox 3.6.10 (problem seems to occur in all versions of firefox 3.6.x and probably previous versions as well).
I've already solved a similar problem with
html,body {
padding:0;
margin:0;
height:100%;
min-height:100%;
}
It seems <html>
is sometimes taken into account to calculate height.
