This is a box where you can change the minimum height. <br />If there is
more content than the minimum the box will grow to the height needed by the

The element's height is set to the value of min-height
whenever min-height
is larger than max-height
or height
.

Values
<length>
Defines the min-height
as an absolute value.
<percentage>
Defines the min-height
as a percentage of the containing block's height.
auto
The browser will calculate and select a min-height
for the specified element.
max-content
The intrinsic preferred min-height
.
min-content
The intrinsic minimum min-height
.
fit-content
Use the available space, but not more than max-content, i.e., min(max-content, max(min-content, stretch))
.
fit-content(<length-percentage>)
Uses the fit-content
formula with the available space replaced by the specified argument, i.e., min(max-content, max(min-content, argument))
.
stretch
Limits the minimum height of the element's margin box to the height of its containing block. It attempts to make the margin box fill the available space in the containing block, so in a way behaving similar to 100%
but applying the resulting size to the margin box rather than the box determined by box-sizing.
Note: To check aliases used by browsers for the stretch
value and its implementation status, see the Browser compatibility section.
auto
Applies to all elements but non-replaced inline elements, table columns, and column groups Inherited no Percentages The percentage is calculated with respect to the height of the generated box's containing block. If the height of the containing block is not specified explicitly (i.e., it depends on content height), and this element is not absolutely positioned, the percentage value is treated as 0
. Computed value the percentage as specified or the absolute length Animation type a length, percentage or calc(); Formal syntax
