To make a DIV element fully occupy the width and height of its parent link block in Webflow, ensure both elements have the correct layout settings.
1. Set the Parent Link Block’s Position
- Select the Link Block, and ensure that it has its position set to "relative" (unless it already has a specific positioning for another reason).
- This creates a reference point for any absolutely positioned children (if used).
2. Adjust Parent Size if Not Expanding
- Confirm the Link Block fills its container. If it's not expanding as expected:
- Set width to 100% or a fixed value.
- Set a height either manually (e.g., 300px) or through dynamic content like padding or children.
3. Set the Child DIV to Fill Parent
- Select the DIV inside the Link Block.
- Set width: 100% and height: 100% in the Style panel.
- Alternatively (for full fill within the parent's space):
- Set position: absolute
- Set top, right, bottom, and left to 0
- This will force the DIV to stretch across the full bounds of its relatively-positioned parent.
4. Optional Display Settings
- If you’re not using absolute positioning, ensure the Link Block uses display: block or flex, and the child DIV is not being collapsed.
- Avoid inline display settings that might limit block-level child expansion.
5. Check for Padding or Borders
- Ensure the parent Link Block has no extra padding or borders that may restrict the child DIV’s full expansion.
- Also verify that overflow settings aren't hiding part of the DIV.
Summary
To make a DIV element occupy the full space of a Link Block in Webflow, set the Link Block to position: relative, ensure it has defined dimensions, and set the DIV to width: 100%, height: 100% or use absolute positioning with all sides set to 0. Adjust parent display or spacing settings as needed to prevent layout constraints.
