[css] Div Height in Percentage

It doesn't take the 50% of the whole page is because the "whole page" is only how tall your contents are. Change the enclosing html and body to 100% height and it will work.

html, body{
    height: 100%;
}
div{
    height: 50%;
}

enter image description here

^ Your document is only 20px high. 50% of 20px is 10px, and it is not what you expected.

enter image description here

^ Now if you change the height of the document to the height of the whole page (150px), 50% of 150px is 75px, then it will work.
