I have a simple page with a search that shows the results throught the Google Maps API. The problem is, when I put on CSS height:100%, the map dont shows up. If I change it to 500px, it works fine. How I can use % in the height of the Google Map div?

Here's the code:

Page

<body>
  <div id="map"></div>
</body>

CSS

<style>
body, html {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
#map {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100%;
  max-height: none;
}
</style>

Script

<script type="text/javascript">
   var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
</script>

height: 100%

won't work before initializing map so try to use JS instead. First of all you need to grab an iframe height where is the map loaded. Due to the iframe is in a different domain you cannot grab the iframe height however you can grab the document height as described below.

var body = document.body, html = document.documentElement;
var height = Math.max(body.scrollHeight, body.offsetHeight, html.clientHeight, html.scrollHeight, html.offsetHeight);
document.getElementById('map').style.height = height + 'px';

Hope this will help you.

  • If height:100% don't work, this is the best approach I've seen. Thanks Ruslan.

Try this styling, it worked fine in my Visualforce page:

#map {
    height: 100% !important;
    padding-bottom: 50%;
    position: relative;
    width: 100%;
}

  • It works, but it "reserves" the space for the div, even if the map isnt loaded. Thanks anyway!

you can use css3 vh unit but it is not supported by older browser

#map {
  height: 100vh;
  width: 100%;
  min-height: 100%;
  max-height: none;
}
