 * I have spend hours on trying to get the main div on height 100%.
 * Tons of different CSS way on different DIVs I have tried without any result, 
   the -main- still stays as high as the content in it..
 * As I want the main to run over the whole height of the screen on the intier site..
   is there a way to achieve this in the PHP .. ?
 * Thanks for helping out
    kind regards from France

 * To get the main div to be 100%, the parent must also be 100% and in addition 
   to that, the body and html css should also be height: 100%;
 * Additionally you can also use `height: 100vh`
 * Browser support for viewport units
