How Can I Make a Child Div Stretch to the Height of Its Parent with Unknown Height?
Stretching Child Divs to Match Parent Height
When you encounter a situation like the one described, where the height of a child div should match that of its parent but the parent's height is unknown, a solution can be found through flexbox.
To achieve vertical scaling of the child div, the parent element requires the following style:
1 |
|
Additionally, you should add browser prefixes to ensure cross-browser compatibility.
The align-items: stretch; property is also crucial. However, since it is the default value for align-items in flex boxes, you do not need to set it explicitly unless you intend to use a different value.
Flexbox's align-items property affects child elements, not the element it is applied to. To define stretching for child elements, you can use the align-self property.
Consider the following example:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 |
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
|
In this example, the other-child div exists solely for the purpose of stretching the parent's height. As a result, the child div will occupy 100% of the parent's adjustable height.
