How to keep two columns the same height with image? - html

Question

We have a two column layout where image is on one side with text on the other. We want the image to be the same height as the content. We are having an issue when the text column reaches a certain height, then it will not make the image go full height. Although not added, this .flex__wrapper is surrounded by an outer <div class="container"> element so that we can handle larger screens where we may want to limit the width.
How can we achieve this? Our current solution uses flexbox, but we have also tried the following solutions but none resolves the problem.
Goal:
As the right column containing the text increases in height, i want the image to also take up the same amount of height.
Solutions we tried, but they didn't work. They seem to work well with text and text, but not text and image.

Answer 1

You need to apply max-width:100% on your image. Now even after applying the following style your image will not take whole place in full screen(1600*900px), this is happening because your original image is of less size(450*274) and the container where your are trying to fit is 792px approx. Try using a bigger image then it will be solved.
.flex__wrapper {
display: flex;
position: relative;
background-color: #eee;
flex-wrap: wrap;
}
#media screen and (min-width: 1024px) {
.flex__wrapper {
max-width: 56%;
}
}
[class*=col--] {
box-sizing: border-box;
flex-basis: 0;
flex-grow: 1;
max-width: 100%;
}
.col--m-s-12 {
width: 100%;
}
.col--t-s-6 {
width: 50%;
}
img {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
object-fit:cover;
}
<div class="flex__wrapper">
