In order to grasp the concept of height
, it's important to understand that it will only occupy the specified amount of space that is assigned to it. For example, if a container element has a height of 300px, and a child element within has the CSS property of height:100%
, then that child element will adapt to that specific height.
In this scenario, the absence of a specific height
declaration on any elements other than height:100%
or min-height:100%
suggests that the minimum height will always be a fixed value, such as in pixels (px
) or em units.
If your goal is to ensure uniform height for all boxes, you can refer to my previous response provided here. The strategy involves identifying a group of elements (marked by XX) and determining the maximum height among them. This determined height is then applied uniformly across all elements in that group.
This approach is commonly used when creating carousels, modals, tooltips, or columns with consistent heights to enhance the overall layout aesthetics.
To implement this in your situation, you would need to iterate through all .card
elements, calculate their max-height, and assign it to the entire group. I recommend using the outerHeight()
method as it accounts for the total dimensions including border, padding, and margin.
var maxHeightOfCards = $('.card').map(function() {
return $(this).outerHeight();
}).get();
// Alternatively, you can use $('.card').css('height', Math.max.apply(null, maxHeightOfCards))
$('.card').height(Math.max.apply(null, maxHeightOfCards));
