I just want to make a div below some fixed texts, and I want the div to fill exactly the height of the page, and I want it to work cross-browser... It is hard to believe how much work such a nature task requires.
I tried this code, which adjusts the height by jQuery. It works well in Chrome, but it does not work perfectly in Chrome: if we scroll down, we could see it does not automatically restore to the initial position.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style>
body {
margin: 0
}
.rb .myME {
background: grey
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="rb">
<div class="top">1<br/>2<br/>3<br/>4<br/></div>
<div class="myME">abc</div>
</div>
<script>
$(".myME").css({
height: (($(document).height()) - $(".top").height()) + 'px'
})
</script>
</body>
</html>
Does anyone have a perfect solution (CSS or jQuery) cross-browser?
for older and newer browsers , the display:table properties could match your requirement.
html,
body,
.rb {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
.rb {
display: table;
width: 100%;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
.top, .myME {
display: table-row;
}
.buffer {
display: table-cell;
}
.top .buffer {
background: lightblue;
}
.myME .buffer {
background: tomato;
height:100%;
}
<div class="rb">
<div class="top">
<div class="buffer">
1<br/>2<br/>3<br/>4<br/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="myME">
<div class="buffer">
abc
</div>
</div>
</div>
the .buffer div is to make sure that each of your rows are made of a single cell to avoid layout to be split also in columns.
If you want to make that div under that text you need to do some css there you can find many tutorials because it is in basics:
Use position relative to parent div and position absolute to div that u want to move under text.
If you want to use full height you don't need jquery use VH - viewport height as height: 100vh; to have full height of any devices.
I am not sure does VH works everywhere but it does for me in chrome, fox, edge
By W3schools it works here: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_units.asp
If top div is a fixed size ( just change size in both heights in top div and calc function ) you can try this :
body {
margin: 0
}
.rb {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.top {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
}
.myME {
width: 100%;
height: calc( 100% - 100px);
background: grey;
}
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div class="rb">
<div class="top">1<br/>2<br/>3<br/>4<br/></div>
<div class="myME">abc</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I hope this helps you
