Why Is My Label Element Not Filling Its Parent\'s Height When I Set Its Height to 100%?

Height Property Not Working on Label Element

When attempting to set the height of a label element to 100%, it may not have the desired effect. This is because the height property doesn't exist in isolation.

As the provided code snippet demonstrates, the CSS rule for the label sets height to 100%. However, the question of "100% of what?" arises. The height property refers to the percentage of the parent element's height. In this case, the label element's parent is the field element.

If the field element does not have an explicit height defined in its CSS or its parent's CSS, the browser will rely on default styling. By default, the height of a block-level element like a div (used for field in this case) depends on its content. This default height may not align with the intended 100% height for the label.

Therefore, to ensure that the label element fills its parent's height, it's essential to set an explicit height or use flexbox or grids to control the layout and ensure the desired height is achieved.
