100% height column (not row)

[s.alc]

Hi Forum,

I'm working on a website on which I want to assign a background color to a selected number of columns, and have that color follow the height of the row. To illustrate what I've got right now i've added 2 screenshots.

So what i've done is inserted a Stack element and gave this a custom css class called 'columns-turqoise'. Adding 'height: 100%;' doesn't do the job. I have tried 'height: 100vh;'. That works for the yellow part because I want that row to be full height, but for another part below, where I want the selected columns to be green, '100vh' is too much because I want the green part to take on the height of a text column that sits next to it.

Also, i want the content of the stack element still be aligning vertically 'middle' (the logo on the turquoise columns).

What css code can I use to make this happen?

Thanks a lot!
Cheers

Dear @Hantverk

Add this to your inner STACK ELEMENT:

.YOUR_STACK_CONTAINER .column-wrap {
    position: relative;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
}

Better to use the VH instead of %.

I hope I could help!

Dear Marius,

Thank you for your help. This helps me to vertically center content when using '100vh'.

But this only partly solves my problem. How do I make sure the Stack element follows the height of the row, without using the full viewport?

Thanks!

Dear @Hantverk
it is not possible to stretch the STACK element to the 100% heigh to the parent box..

Can you show on a sketch how you want the final result to look like?

Thank you!

Thank you Marius,

I've retro-fitted the element by giving the full row a background color and giving the stack element that contains the text a custom class with a white background. So now the colored background always stretches because it is covered by a white background where the text sits.

Cheers!

Dear @Hantverk
ah! Perfect!
This is a way to go in your case.

Thank you for letting us know.

Best!
