Kevin Powell | One of the most common CSS issues people run into @KevinPowell | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Feel like you have the basics of CSS down, but you still get frustrated by it? I have a course just for you! 👉 https://cssdemystified.com?utm_campaign=general&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=min-height-percentage
When we declare the height of an element as a percentage it has to be based on the height of the parent element. A lot of people know that, but then get frustrated when they declare a min-height and it doesn't work. In fact, it's probably one of the most common questions I see, so in this video I take a look at why it doesn't work.
