Currently, I am experimenting with Bootstrap 4 and facing some challenges in setting the correct heights for my layout. The elements in my design include a "side nav", "header", "main", and "footer".
My goal is to make the "main" section occupy most of the height on the page. However, due to an issue with the heights, the side nav does not extend all the way down and there is a white space in the bottom left corner.
If you view my code in full screen mode, you will notice this issue.
body,
html,
.container-fluid {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
display: flex;
align-items: stretch;
}
#sidebar {
background-color: blue;
color: white;
}
@media (max-width: 768px) {
#sidebar {
min-width: 80px;
max-width: 80px;
text-align: center;
margin-left: -80px !important;
}
