I have the following layout (I\'m using Meteor):
Although this doesn't directly relate to the html sizing problems, I recently discovered a much easier way to achieve this sort of "transparent film" thing, using box-shadow.
This article breaks it down pretty well. He also offers other methods, but frankly this seems like the simplest.
<div class="example"></div>
.example {
position:relative;
width: 300px;
height: 313px;
box-shadow: 0px 313px rgba(255, 0, 92, 0.6) inset;
background: url(/img.png);
}
I know you said you've tried every combination, but what about:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.fill-height {
min-height: 100%;
height:auto !important; /* cross-browser */
height: 100%; /* cross-browser */
}
The problem with setting min-height: 100%
on the body, is that height: 100%
on the child div does not actually have a proper parent height to reference, and will not work.
EDIT:
This logic applies to all child divs. So in your case, the body-film div is a child of container-fluid. Because container-fluid now has a min-height
of 100%, and not a defined height
(it is set to auto), when you give a height percentage to body-film, it doesn't have a height to reference. It's worth having a read of MDN - CSS height and MDN - CSS min-height.
In other words, if you wish to have a div with a height or min-height of 100%, then all of its parent elements need to have a defined height of 100%, all the way up to the html tag.
What you may need to do is something like this:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.container-fluid {
height: 100%;
overflow-y: hidden; /* don't show content that exceeds my height */
}
.body-film {
min-height: 100%;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
This may not be the definitive answer as it depends on what you want exactly, but hopefully this sets you on the right track.
