I would recommend using Flexbox as I do in the snippet, but the key to viewport height and then expanding is min-height: 100vh ; The vh property (short for viewport height) is pretty well-supported.

Please see the snippet for a demonstration.

 $(function() { $(document).on('click', '.deck', function(evt) { $newEl = $('#copy-me').clone().text(HolderIpsum.words(~~(Math.random() * 20), true)); $('.deck').append($newEl); }); });

 body { background-color: gray; } .deck { width: 100vw; min-height: 100vh; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; background-color: white; padding: 1em; align-items: stretch; } .deck::after { content: 'CLICK ANYWHERE IN WHITE BOX TO ADD MORE CONTENT'; order: 999; background-color: transparent !important; color: gray !important; border-color: gray !important; } .deck::after, .deck__card { flex: 33% 0 1; padding: 0.5em; margin: 1em; border: 2px solid orange; background-color: blue; color: orange; font-size: 2em; font-family: sans-serif; height: auto; min-height: 33vh; order: 1; }
