Make a div fill the height of the remaining screen

2018-12-30 23:20发布

I am currently working on a web application, where I want the content to fill the height of the entire screen.

The page has a header, which contains a logo, and account information. This could be an arbitrary height. I want the content div to fill the rest of the page to the bottom.

I have a header div and a content div. At the moment I am using a table for the layout like so:

CSS and HTML

#page {
    height: 100%; width: 100%
}

#tdcontent {
    height: 100%;
}

#content {
    overflow: auto; /* or overflow: hidden; */
}
<table id="page">
    <tr>
        <td id="tdheader">
            <div id="header">...</div>
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td id="tdcontent">
            <div id="content">...</div>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>

The entire height of the page is filled, and no scrolling is required.

For anything inside the content div, setting top: 0; will put it right underneath the header. Sometimes the content will be a real table, with it's height set to 100%. Putting header inside content will not allow this to work.

Is there a way to achieve the same effect without using the table?

Update:

Elements inside the content div will have heights set to percentages as well. So something at 100% inside the div will fill it to the bottom. As will two elements at 50%.

Update 2:

For instance, if the header takes up 20% of the screen's height, a table specified at 50% inside #content would take up 40% of the screen space. So far, wrapping the entire thing in a table is the only thing that works.

There's a ton of answers now, but I found using height: 100vh; to work on the div element that needs to fill up the entire vertical space available.

In this way, I do not need to play around with display or positioning. This came in handy when using Bootstrap to make a dashboard wherein I had a sidebar and a main. I wanted the main to stretch and fill the entire vertical space so that I could apply a background colour.

div {
    height: 100vh;
}

The original post is more than 3 years ago. I guess many people who come to this post like me are looking for an app-like layout solution, say a somehow fixed header, footer, and full height content taking up the rest screen. If so, this post may help, it works on IE7+, etc.

http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2011/10/05/full-height-app-layouts-a-css-trick-to-make-it-easier/

And here are some snippets from that post:

@media screen { 
  
  /* start of screen rules. */ 
  
  /* Generic pane rules */
  body { margin: 0 }
  .row, .col { overflow: hidden; position: absolute; }
  .row { left: 0; right: 0; }
  .col { top: 0; bottom: 0; }
  .scroll-x { overflow-x: auto; }
  .scroll-y { overflow-y: auto; }

  .header.row { height: 75px; top: 0; }
  .body.row { top: 75px; bottom: 50px; }
  .footer.row { height: 50px; bottom: 0; }
  
  /* end of screen rules. */ 
}
<div class="header row" style="background:yellow;">
    <h2>My header</h2>
</div> 
<div class="body row scroll-y" style="background:lightblue;">
    <p>The body</p>
</div> 
<div class="footer row" style="background:#e9e9e9;">
    My footer
</div>

Try this

var sizeFooter = function(){
    $(".webfooter")
        .css("padding-bottom", "0px")
        .css("padding-bottom", $(window).height() - $("body").height())
}
$(window).resize(sizeFooter);

Instead of using tables in the markup, you could use CSS tables.

Markup

<body>    
    <div>hello </div>
    <div>there</div>
</body>

(Relevant) CSS

body
{
    display:table;
    width:100%;
}
div
{
    display:table-row;
}
div+ div
{
    height:100%;  
}

FIDDLE1 and FIDDLE2

Some advantages of this method are:

1) Less markup

2) Markup is more semantic than tables, because this is not tabular data.

3) Browser support is very good: IE8+, All modern browsers and mobile devices (caniuse)


Just for completeness, here are the equivalent Html elements to css properties for the The CSS table model

table    { display: table }
tr       { display: table-row }
thead    { display: table-header-group }
tbody    { display: table-row-group }
tfoot    { display: table-footer-group }
col      { display: table-column }
colgroup { display: table-column-group }
td, th   { display: table-cell }
caption  { display: table-caption }
