    Hey @mariusjopen , I almost have it! But the very last part I can't seem to get working. Could you have a look at my code please?

    I used this javascript:
    <script>

    window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){
        var FooterBigLeft = jQuery('#footer-big-left');
        jQuery('#footer-right-get-height').css({ height: FooterBigLeft.height() });
        console.log(FooterBigLeft.height());
    });
    

    </script>

    and this css:

    #footer-right-get-height {
    background-color: red !important;
    display:flex;
    flex-direction:column;
    height:100%;
    overflow-wrap: normal;
    }
    #footer-right-get-height .element-collection {
    /* position: initial !important; */
    }
    .footer-right-get-height-top {
    background-color: blue !important;
    align-self: flex-start;
    }
    .footer-right-get-height-bottom {
    background-color: green !important;
    align-self: flex-end;
    }

    So the things is:
    2 columns. The left one has big text. With javascript I get the height for this column. The right column is actually a element grid with 2 items. The element grid itself has an # id. (footer-right-get-height) and the two items in it have each a class:.footer-right-get-height-top/bottom.
    I am trying to give the #id a display flex and then flex the items inside to top and bottom. but that works almost but not yet. I can send (PM?) screenshot if you'd like!

    Many thanks in advance!

      Dear @v1ncent
      Great you came that far!
      Can you post a link to your website?
      We will then have a look and inspect that!
      Many wishes!

        Thank you @mariusjopen ! Yes, even more frustrating because I can almost see it working but then it's not. I've sent you a PM with the link. Thank you and have a good weekend!

          hey @mariusjopen , I now know that if I turn the following of in the inspector it works:
          .text > *:last-child {
          margin-bottom: 0 !important;
          }

          This line of css if from: front.style.css:499

          Overriding seems not an option (!important doesn't work) and besides, this seems a vital style to keep styles intact. So how can I make the flex start and end alignment get to work while still allowing for margin-bottom 0? :)

            Fixed it! :)
            Wanted to share how, so it is also beneficial for other users:

            First, use javascript to get height from div and apply to other div.

            <script>

            window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){
                var FooterBigLeft = jQuery('#footer-big-left');
                jQuery('#footer-right-get-height').css({ height: FooterBigLeft.height() });
                jQuery('#footer-right-get-height .element-collection').css({ height: FooterBigLeft.height() });
                console.log(FooterBigLeft.height());
            });
            

            </script>

            FooterBigLeft defines the height, and #footer-right-get-height + .element-collection get the height applied.

            Then, make a flex of the div that got the height applied to it. Where I had problems was that the theme nests a lot of div's to have the site working properly. But a flex only works to it's child, hence I applied the height to .element-collection since that is the parent div of the children that need to spaced out evenly. Basically then only justify-content:space-between; is needed. Looks so simple now but this took me many hours. Thanks for the help along the way @mariusjopen !

            #footer-right-get-height .element-collection {
            display:flex;
            flex-direction:column;
            justify-content:space-between;
            }
            #footer-right-get-height .text > *:last-child {
            margin-bottom: revert !important;
            margin-bottom: 10px !important;
            }

                  @arminunruh @v1ncent Thanks for your work! For me it works, if I don't have entered any "space above" and "space below" the text.

                  This is the Javascript:

                  <script>
                  window.laytheme.on("newpageshown", function(){
                      var TextElement = jQuery('#textelement');
                      jQuery('#kachelbild img').css({ height: TextElement.height() });
                      console.log(TextElement.height());
                  });
                  </script>
                  

                  This is the CSS:

                  #kachelbild img {
                    object-fit: cover;
                  }
                  
                  #kachelbild {
                  display:flex;
                  flex-direction:column;
                  height:100%;
                  overflow-wrap: normal;
                  }
                  
                  #kachelbild .ph {
                    padding-bottom: 0px !important;
                  }
                  
                  

                  The element with the text has the id #textelement, the image has the id #kachelbild.
                  Is there a way to add the value of "space above" and "space below" to the height in the Javascript? I use 5% space above and also 5% space below the text (which is 10% of the viewport).

                  In the screenshot you can see that the two red lines (added) are the same height as the green line.

                        @arminunruh Thank you, yes I know this function. It works if the image and the text have 50% of the width. But often the Text should be wider or vice versa.
                        And there is a drawback with "set right/left row image background": it doesn't sync with the mobile view, there you have to separately insert an image. If someday I change the background image, I will for sure forget to change it in the mobile version :-)
