I am working on my new site and I have 4 sections header, nav, main and footer.
If you make the window smaller on the vertical side the navbar height works propperly.
But if you make the window smaller on the horizontal side, so the content goes down.
I don't understand why the navbar isn't 100% anymore? The body is 100% and the navbar should have the same height but it isn't?
I tried 100vh but it isn't working either and I think 100% should work?
Make your <nav> position fixed.
Use:
nav {
position: fixed;
}
Instead of:
nav {
position: absolute;
}
Hope this helps!
have you tried adding a page-wrapper? something like this
<body>
<div class="page-wrapper">
<header></header>
<nav></nav>
<main>
<p>...</p>
</main>
<footer></footer>
</div>
</body>
.page-wrapper {
postion:relative;
display: block;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
To Get 100% height on body HTML need to have 100% height first , first Make your HTML height 100%;
html {
height:100%;
}
Then the body :
body {
height:100%;
}
finally element you want it to be 100% heigh
nav {
height:100%;
}
make the nav position: fixed;
