Why is min-height:100vh not working on container? - html

Question

I wanted the social media icons to be visible without scrolling. This has worked before, is there a reason it's not? It doesn't seem to be the images taking up space.
I placed min-height:100vh on .container, HTML and body tag I didn't see any results. I changed the size height images and that also didn't get my desired result.
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
background-color: #e2e2e2;
font-family: "Montserrat", sans-serif;
font-weight: 500; }
/* min height */
.container {
white-space: nowrap;
min-height: 100vh;
}

Answer 1

Change your slider image height to 630px. It should place the whole container within 100vh. #slider { height: 630px }. Another tip: If you are using flexbox. You don't need absolute positioning for footer in this case.
