CSS min-height

<!doctype html>
<title>Example</title>
<style>
button { 
  background: greenyellow;
  min-width: 100px;
  min-height: 50px;
  }
</style>
<button>min-height</button>

The CSS min-height property is used to constrain the height of an element. The element can render at any size up to the min-height, depending on its contents.

Syntax

Possible Values

length: Specifies a minimum value for height as a length value (for example 300px). Negative values are illegal.
percentage: Specifies a minimum value for height as a percentage of the height of the containing block. Negative values are illegal. If the containing block's height is negative, the used value is zero.
available: Equal to the containing block height minus the current element's margin, border, and padding.
max-content: The max-content height.
min-content: The min-content height.
fit-content: Same as min-content.
none: Specifies that there's no limit on the height of the box.

In addition, all CSS properties also accept the following CSS-wide keyword values as the sole component of their property value:

initial: Represents the value specified as the property's initial value.
inherit: Represents the computed value of the property on the element's parent.
unset: This value acts as either inherit or initial, depending on whether the property is inherited or not. In other words, it sets all properties to their parent value if they are inheritable or to their initial value if not inheritable.

General Information

Initial Value: 0
Applies To: All elements except non-replaced inline elements, table columns, and column groups
Inherited?: No
Media: Visual
Animatable: Yes (see example)
