Frequency Asked Questions
What is VH in CSS?
VH stands for 'Viewport Height.' 1vh equals 1% of the browser's visible height. On a 1080px tall screen, 1vh = 10.8px.
How do I create a full-height section using VH?
Set height: 100vh for a section to fill the entire viewport height. Be aware of mobile browser address bars.
What is the difference between VH and percentage height?
VH is always relative to the viewport height, while percentage height is relative to the parent element's height.
Why does 100vh cause scrolling on mobile?
Mobile browsers include address bars in VH calculation. When hidden, height changes. Use 100svh or 100dvh for better mobile support.
Can I use VH for font sizes?
Yes, but cautiously. VH for typography can make text too large on tall screens. Consider clamp().
