How can I make Bootstrap 4 columns have a height of 100%?


how can I make a column take up 100% height of the browser w bootstrap 4?

See the following: https://codepen.io/johnpickly/pen/dRqxjV

Note the yellow div, I need this div/column to take up a height of 100%... Is there way to make this happen without having to make all parent div's have a height of 100%?

Thank you

html:

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row justify-content-center">

    <div class="col-4 hidden-md-down" id="yellow">
      XXXX
    </div>

    <div class="col-10 col-sm-10 col-md-10 col-lg-8 col-xl-8">
      Form Goes Here
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Solution

  • Use the Bootstrap 4 h-100 class for height:100%;

    <div class="container-fluid h-100">
      <div class="row justify-content-center h-100">
        <div class="col-4 hidden-md-down" id="yellow">
          XXXX
        </div>
        <div class="col-10 col-sm-10 col-md-10 col-lg-8 col-xl-8">
          Form Goes Here
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

    You'll also need ensure any parent(s) are also 100% height (or have a defined height)...

    html,body {
      height: 100%;
    }
    

    Note: 100% height is not the same as "remaining" height.
