I have this problem, I have two divs:
<
Use absolute positioning:
#div1{
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background-color:red;/*Development Only*/
}
#div2{
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
bottom: 0;
background-color:blue;/*Development Only*/
}
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
One way is to set the the div to position:absolute
and give it a top of 50px and bottom of 0px;
#div2
{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
top:50px
}
I tried with CSS, and or you need to use display: table or you need to use new css that is not yet supported on most browsers (2016).
So, I wrote a jquery plugin to do it for us, I am happy to share it:
//Credit Efy Teicher
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".fillHight").fillHeight();
$(".fillWidth").fillWidth();
});
window.onresize = function (event) {
$(".fillHight").fillHeight();
$(".fillWidth").fillWidth();
}
$.fn.fillHeight = function () {
var siblingsHeight = 0;
this.siblings("div").each(function () {
siblingsHeight = siblingsHeight + $(this).height();
});
var height = this.parent().height() - siblingsHeight;
this.height(height);
};
$.fn.fillWidth = function (){
var siblingsWidth = 0;
this.siblings("div").each(function () {
siblingsWidth += $(this).width();
});
var width =this.parent().width() - siblingsWidth;
this.width(width);
}
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html {
}
html, body, .fillParent {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="fillParent" style="background-color:antiquewhite">
<div>
no1
</div>
<div class="fillHight">
no2 fill
</div>
<div class="deb">
no3
</div>
</div>
You could use calc
function to calculate remaining height for 2nd div.
*{
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#div1{
height: 50px;
background: skyblue;
}
#div2{
height: calc(100vh - 50px);
background: blue;
}
<div id="div1"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
Why not use padding with negative margins? Something like this:
<div class="parent">
<div class="child1">
</div>
<div class="child2">
</div>
</div>
And then
.parent {
padding-top: 1em;
}
.child1 {
margin-top: -1em;
height: 1em;
}
.child2 {
margin-top: 0;
height: 100%;
}
You can use
display: flex;
CSS property, as mentioned before by @Ayan, but I've created a working example: https://jsfiddle.net/d2kjxd51/
