FlexBox Stripes

[GrumpyYoungMan]

Just when I think I have this sussed out, I encounter a problem!

I can not seem to get the flexes to go to 100% of my browser window!

What have I missed/don't understand? Help... Please...

Fixed

I can not seem to get the flexes to go to 100% of my browser window!

I can see nothing wrong with it when looking
at it with Firefox or Vivaldi on Linux Mint.

Yes that is true. 

I believe  that this is commonly  known as
being "betwixt and between".

I do always try to fix my own issues / I don’t just wait for you....

For some reason, it was the justify-content and the align-items causing the background colours not to stretch to the full viewpoint... I just removed those out the main tag CSS style.

This is why I dislike setting flex on body.

And since I usually have a dummy DIV there for scrolling so that modal dialogs don't end up with two scrollbars, it's not like I don't have an existing target for it.

So we don’t have to use the html tags such as header, footer, main and section? It is still okay to use Divs?

• You don't have to use that selection
• Yes it' still OK

I can see nothing wrong with using...

Code: [Select]

<div id="header"></div>

 <div id="main-content"></div>

 <div id="footer"></div>

You can, of course, also go to the mothership
for more detailed comments. 

So what's wrong with HTML 5?

Nothing at all wrong with that, as long as you make certain that
you never ever join  this infernal group...

Hopefully this forum will keep me on the straight and narrow, even though sometimes I feel it’s a case of trying and falling old dogs and new tricks...
