I have a problem with the Height Tag in CSS. I want the page

  • 0

I have a problem with the Height Tag in CSS. I want the page to be displayed without any scrollbars and just can’t figure out why when i change “height” in the body tag from 99% to 100% suddenly scrollingbars appear and break the design.

I want to know why this happens and what’s the reason for it.

thanks!

    There is also bottom margin on the body.

    body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 0 0 20px;    
}

    Though you should consider using a css reset such as eric meyers reset or normalize
