Sticky footer question

Hi there.

I'm following Guil and listening closely but the problem is when I set

  html, body, .main-wrapper, .col {
    height: 100%;
  }

The second column doesn't take up 100% like the first one.

Any ideas why?

Thanks for helping.

I'm using Chrome.

html and body are the only things that need to be 100% in height. put the other two on a separate line and give them a min-height or max-height. The will change based on the content inside them.

Hi thanks for replying.

But it didn't work as expected. Still displaying about 95% full. Any other ideas?

Hi Nejc, Did you remember to do vertical-align: top; ?

Hello there Laura,

Thank you for replying. Will check, but I think I didn't set the vertical-align: top . I just have to find the workspace:)

Will let you know when I check.
