Currently, I have implemented a radial gradient as the background image on my webpage using the following code:
background-image: -webkit-gradient(radial, 100% 100%, 10, 90% 90%, 600, from(#ccc), to(#000));
Although this approach works fine, there is an issue when the content does not occupy the entire page, causing the gradient to be truncated. Is there a way to ensure that the <body> element always fills the whole page?
body, html {
padding: 0;
max-height: 100%;
}
Our website features a variety of pages with static content as well as dynamic content loaded via AJAX. Specifically, one page, the search page, sometimes displayed an overflow of results while other times showed no results at all. To ensure that the background image always fills the page appropriately, we implemented the following CSS:
html {
margin: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0px;
min-height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
We utilized height for the html element and min-height for the body element in our CSS.
After trying multiple solutions without success, I decided to share my findings for others facing the same issue. It was necessary to set both the html and body elements with a min-height in order for the gradient to fill the entire body height.
I came across Stephen P's helpful comment that provided the correct solution.
html {
/* To utilize full height of page*/
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
Setting the html (or both html and body) height to 100% resolved the issue:
html {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
I found myself having to set the styles for both the html and body elements at 100%.
To achieve the desired outcome of having the <body> element occupy the full height of the screen, follow these guidelines:
If your content is not expected to exceed the height of the screen or if you intend to have a scrollable inner element, use
body {
height: 100vh;
}
However, if you anticipate that the content will exceed the screen height and require scrolling, then set
body {
min-height: 100vh;
}
This basic setup accomplishes the goal but can be further enhanced for better presentation.
One important step is to remove the margin applied to the <body> element.
body {
margin: 0;
}
There are two primary reasons for eliminating the margin:
P.S. For a radial gradient background centered on the screen rather than in the bottom right corner as shown in the example, consider using this CSS snippet:
body {
min-height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
background: radial-gradient(circle, rgba(255,255,255,1) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,1) 100%);
}<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=">
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>Consider implementing viewport units of measure on the body element
Make sure to include the following CSS properties: html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } body { min-height: 100vh; }
For horizontal margins, paddings, and borders on the body, use vh units and subtract them from the min-height value.
I've encountered unexpected outcomes when using vh and vm units on elements within the body, especially during resizing.
In my opinion, the most accurate approach is to apply the following CSS:
html
{
overflow: hidden;
}
body
{
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
html, body
{
height: 100%;
}
If you encounter a situation with borders or padding, then the resolution
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
border: solid red 5px;
border-radius: 2em;
}results in an imperfect display

To achieve correct rendering when there is a border or padding present

use this alternative approach
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
body {
box-sizing: border-box;
border: solid red 5px;
border-radius: 2em;
}as Martin pointed out, noting that overflow: hidden isn't necessary.

After trying all the suggested solutions without success, I discovered that the root of my issue was attributed to the <header> tag having a margin-top of 5em and the <footer> sporting a margin-bottom of 5em. To resolve this, I decided to eliminate the margins and introduce some padding (top and bottom) instead. While changing the margins may not be considered the perfect solution, it certainly alleviated the problem caused by having margins on the first and last elements within the <body>.
The styles I had applied to my html and body tags were as follows:
body {
line-height: 1;
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
html {
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #3c3c3c;
}
