    <p>I am working on getting the layout sorted for a pretty simple gallery webapp, but when I use an HTML5 doctype declaration, the height of some of my divs (which were 100%) get shrunk right down, and I can't seem to plump them back up using CSS.</p> <p>My HTML is at <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16178847/eyewitness/b/index.html" rel="noreferrer">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16178847/eyewitness/b/index.html</a> and css is at <a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16178847/eyewitness/b/style.css" rel="noreferrer">https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16178847/eyewitness/b/style.css</a></p> <ul> <li>If I remove the HTML5 doctype declaration, all is as I want it to be, but I really want to use the proper HTML5 doctype declaration.</li> <li>If I set the doctype to HTML5 and make no changes, the div with the photo and the footer divs are not visible, presumably because they are 0px high.</li> <li>If I set the doctype to HTML5 and make the <code>body { height: 100px }</code> and <code>.container { height: 100px }</code> or <code>.container { height: 100% }</code>, it becomes visible, but what I need is it to be is full height rather than a height in pixels.</li> <li>If I try to do the same as above, but with the <code>body { height: 100% }</code> the photo and footer divs are not visible again.</li> </ul> <p>What do I need to do to get it 100% in height so that my photo and footer divs are full height?</p>

    1. COThis has nothing to do with HTML5 or CSS3. (What happens with any other doctype? Since when was `height` a new CSS3 thing?)

    2. COWhen you make the body 100% height, what are you expecting it to be 100% of?

    3. CO@BoltClock Thanks for your comment. That's a fair point about CSS3, I have removed that tag. I haven't tried any other doctypes, I have only tried it with no doctype or the HTML5 doctype. What are you hoping to figure out from the behaviour with other doctype declarations? I am more than happy to try a few and report back, but am unsure which ones would be relevant to try?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
