The code below demonstrates the issue I am having. When I shrink the browser window in height, the window wrapper is not shrinking with the master wrapper.

Can someone tell me what I am missing that is not allowing the window wrapper to shrink up (height) when the master wrapper is following the browser size?

<STYLE>

html, body, .viewport {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}
/* WRAPPERS */

#master-wrapper {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

  • An initial setting on flex items is `min-height: auto`. This means that an item cannot shrink below the size of its content. That's why `#window-wrapper` cannot shrink in height with `#master-wrapper`. To override the default, apply `min-height: 0` to `#window-wrapper`. – Michael Benjamin May 21 '17 at 01:17
  • Just note that you have various syntax errors in your code. In `#window-wrapper` you have `display-flex`, which is invalid. You also have a few missing semi-colons. Once fixed they also make a difference in the layout. – Michael Benjamin May 21 '17 at 01:40
  • thank you so much Michael. I don't do much front-end work in flexbox and totally forgot I had asked a very similar question a year ago. This solved my problem. Please remove this question since it is a duplicate. – Tim May 21 '17 at 10:40

Delete the width: 100%; property from #window-wrapper.

  • This does not fix my issue. My issue is with height not width. But thanks all the same. – Tim May 20 '17 at 22:47
