How can I make a div in Webflow fill the entire screen vertically and horizontally, including when using a height of 100% that is not working? I have already tried removing margins and padding with no success. Thank you for your assistance.

To make a div in Webflow fill the entire screen vertically and horizontally, you can use a combination of CSS properties and flexbox. Here are the steps to achieve this:

1. Select the div element you want to fill the screen.
2. In the Styles panel on the right-hand side, go to the Position section.
3. Set the positioning to "Absolute".
4. Next, go to the Size section and set the width and height to 100%.
5. In the Display section, select "Flex".
6. Now, in the Flex section, choose "Center" for both the alignment and justification.

At this point, if you preview your website, you'll find that the div will fill the entire screen horizontally but not vertically. This is because the parent container (most commonly the body element) also needs to have a height of 100% for the child div to stretch vertically.

To make the parent container extend to the full height of the screen, you can follow these steps:

1. Select the body element.
2. In the Styles panel, go to the Position section and set it to "Relative".
3. In the Size section, set the height to 100vh (viewport height) instead of percentage.

By setting the height of the body element to 100vh, it ensures that it covers the entire height of the viewport.

Now, if you preview your website, the div element should fill the entire screen both vertically and horizontally, irrespective of the content within it.

Keep in mind that if you have any other parent containers between the div and the body element, you'll need to ensure that they also have a height of 100% for this approach to work.
