i have seen in many websites they use
html { height: 100%; }

i normally do not use this what does html { height: 100%; } actually mean is this more of an optional thing or if i use this what significant advantage will it have for the pages i create.

please advice.

thanks.

I think it causes more trouble than its worth.. another little thing I purposely avoid

Hi there,

I use this so I can set, for example, the footer at the absolute bottom. In order to set something in the bottom you need to set a height to the relative parent so all the browsers behave equal.

Setting the body and html tags with 100% make them expand vertically to fill the browser's view.
