Using twitter bootstrap (2), I have a simple page with a nav bar, and inside the container I want to add a div with 100% height (to the bottom of the screen). My css-fu is rusty, and I can’t work this out.

Simple HTML:

<body>
  <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
   <!-- Rest of nav bar chopped from here -->
  </div>
  <div class="container fill">
    <div id="map"></div> <!-- This one wants to be 100% height -->
  </div>
</body>

Current CSS:

#map {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    min-height: 100%;
}

html, body {
    height: 100%;
}

.fill { 
    min-height: 100%;
}
  • EDIT *

I’ve added height to the fill class as suggested below. But, the problem is that I add a padding-top to the body to account for the fixed navbar at the top. This affects the 100% height of the “map” div and means that a scrollbar gets added – as seen here: http://jsfiddle.net/S3Gvf/2/ Can anyone tell me how to fix?

    Set the class .fill to height: 100%

    .fill { 
    min-height: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

    JSFiddle

    (I put a red background for #map so you can see it takes up 100% height)
