Equal height columns with Bootstrap 3 and flexbox
Question
I'm working with Bootstrap 3 (unfortunately cannot change it to Bootstrap 4) and I need to achieve same-height columns effect like in the picture: I've succeded to get it working by using position absolute and @media screen for correct size of images and padding (yellow areas), but I believe there's better way to solve it.
I've found nice working code here , but adding picture on top destroys design - picture goes in additional column and streches all the content ( here ). Adding display:block brings me back to orignal problem - columns of different height.
I'm certain there's some clean and witty way to make it work!
EDIT: So far I have a main row (green frame in the picture below) with 3 columns in it. What if I make 3 rows instead (red frames) and apply equal height only to the middle content? It would work well on big screens, but on small screens when column takes full width of screen, it would end up with 3 pictures one under another, three description parts one under another and three buttons one under another - definitely not what I want! Is there any way to rearrange the display of columns in such case, so I would get 3x picture-description-button?

html,body { height:100%; } .row-flex, .row-flex > div[class*='col-'] { display: -webkit-box; display: -moz-box; display: -ms-flexbox; display: -webkit-flex; display: flex; flex:1 1 auto; } .row-flex-wrap { -webkit-flex-flow: row wrap; align-content: flex-start; flex:0; } .container-flex > div[class*='col-'] div,.row-flex > div[class*='col-'] div { width:100%; }

I think you just need to keep extending the application of flexbox down into the children.
Note however, that images can react badly to being a native flex-child. Wrapping the image in a div solves the issue.
html, body { height: 100%; } .row-flex { display: flex; /* columns are now equal height */ } .col-md-3 { background: pink; display: flex; flex-direction: column; } .panel, .well { /* make panels & wells expand to full height */ flex: 1; display: flex; flex-direction: column; } .panel-footer { /* push footer to bottom */ margin-top: auto; }

There's no other way to make it same height in CSS. I mean dynamic (without setting a specific height).
If you change the display flex to display block. It won't work.
Option: Javascript. Get the height of 3 flex-children and compare it using Math.max(); Set the return number to flex-children.
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; } .flex { display: flex; justify-content: space-between; } .flex-children { width: 30%; background: red; }
<div class="flex"> <div class="flex-children">asd</div> <div class="flex-children"> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Tempora et nisi harum eaque quas similique esse voluptas? Expedita in vitae, vel unde deleniti hic dolores rerum. Aliquam quos quidem quae.</p> </div> <div class="flex-children">ddey</div> </div>
Just override bootstrap style for the specific content.
