Answer 1

You need to set the height of html and body to 100% too before. Then you can set your element height 100%.

body, html {
    height: 100%;
}

#divL, #divR {
    height: 100%;
}

Answer 2

There are a few options you may find useful:

vh (viewport height) vw (viewport width) vmin (viewport minimum length) vmax (viewport maximum length) Now, let’s have a look at a real example. Imagine you want to create a website with two sections, each one of them with the size of the browser window.

Here’s just a simplified code example of the HTML:

<div id="welcome">
   your content on screen 1
</div>

<div id="projects">
   your content on screen 2
</div>

and here’s the CSS using vh:

div#welcome {
    height: 100vh;
    background: black;
}

div#projects {
    height: 100vh;
    background: yellow;
}
