This is more of a curious question than it is needing help.
I’m working on solving a problem using percentage heights. I noticed that when I add height: 100% to the body tag, it stretches the body to the exact height of the window (which it should do). BUT, my content goes further than the total height of my body.
Is this a bad thing? Is it better to have my body set to 100% percent and let the content overflow, or to not set a height and let body “contain” all of the content?
Edit:
Nothing is absolutely positioned on the page. I have all of my floats cleared as well.
If your body’s height is set to 100% and none of the objects on your page are set to position: absolute your body should always adjust to its contents. It sounds like there may be some items on your page with special positioning.
