Make body have 100% of the browser height

Question

I want to make body have 100% of the browser height. Can I do that using CSS?

I tried setting height: 100%, but it doesn\'t work.

I want to set

Answer 1

I would use this

html, body{
      background: #E73;
      min-height: 100%;
      min-height: 100vh;
      overflow: auto; // <- this is needed when you resize the screen
    }

The browser will use min-height: 100vh and if somehow the browser is a little older the min-height: 100% will be the fallback.

The overflow: auto is necessary if you want the body and html to expand their height when you resize the screen (to a mobile size for example)
