Make Div Height 100% of Screen

Question

I have been reading all the 100% div height discussions and I can\'t find a simple solution. How can I make my div take up all of the vertical height of the screen?

Answer 1

You have to make the tag of the height 100% as well, otherwise it is vertically truncated to fit the content.

Also make sure to put the margin of to 0px, because otherwise it will become 100%_of_visible_area + margin, resulting in a vertical scroll bar.
