Height 100% question

so, when using height 100% it’s supposed to be 100% of the parent element and it works correctly for me. However, even when I set the html or body height to be 100% it doesn’t actually fill the ENTIRE page. It only goes until the end of the page and as soon as I scroll down, I can see it stops.

so, the 100% only fills the length of the un scrolled page and as soon as I scroll the height is no longer spreading. how do you actually set the height of an element to the ENTIRE scrolled page.

I’m really having a hard time figuring out how some of these things actually work because they are not making any sense.

Hi. Can you provide some code example?
Looking at your question, I believe it could be some small CSS example, just couple of selectors.
Having such example around, for others it would be easier to help you.
