Examples¶
Basic example¶
Use max-h-<number> utilities like max-h-24 and max-h-64 to set an element to a fixed maximum height based on the spacing scale:
<!-- [!code classes:max-h-80,max-h-64,max-h-48,max-h-40,max-h-32,max-h-24,max-h-full] -->
<div class="h-96 ...">
<div class="h-full max-h-80 ...">max-h-80</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-64 ...">max-h-64</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-48 ...">max-h-48</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-40 ...">max-h-40</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-32 ...">max-h-32</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-24 ...">max-h-24</div>
</div>
Using a percentage¶
Use max-h-full or max-h-<fraction> utilities like max-h-1/2 and max-h-2/5 to give an element a percentage-based maximum height:
<!-- [!code classes:max-h-9/10,max-h-3/4,max-h-1/2,max-h-1/4,max-h-full] -->
<div class="h-96 ...">
<div class="h-full max-h-9/10 ...">max-h-9/10</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-3/4 ...">max-h-3/4</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-1/2 ...">max-h-1/2</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-1/4 ...">max-h-1/4</div>
<div class="h-full max-h-full ...">max-h-full</div>
</div>
