Let Monaco Editor fill the rest of the page (cross-browser)

Viewed 3127

I want to embed a Monaco Editor in a page under some fixed texts, I want the height of the Monaco Editor to fill exactly the rest of the page. People gave me an answer here: JSBin:

<html>
    <style>
        html, body, .rb {
            margin: 0;
            height: 100%;
        }

        .rb {
            display: table;
            width: 100%;
            border-collapse: collapse;
        }

        .top, .myME {
            display: table-row;
        }

        .buffer {
            display: table-cell;
        }

        .top .buffer {
            background: lightblue;
            height:1%;
        }

        .myME .buffer {
            background: tomato;
        }

        #container {
            position:relative;
        }

        #container > * {
            overflow:auto;
            max-width:100%;
            max-height:100%;
        }
    </style>
    <body>
        <div class="rb">
            <div class="top">
                <div class="buffer">
                1<br/>2<br/>3<br/>4<br/>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="myME">
                <div class="buffer" id="container">
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    <script src="https://www.matrixlead.com/monaco-editor/min/vs/loader.js"></script>
    <script>
        require.config({ paths: { 'vs': 'https://www.matrixlead.com/monaco-editor/min/vs' }})

        require(["vs/editor/editor.main"], function () {
          var editor = monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById('container'), {
            value: 'function x() {\n\tconsole.log("Hello world!");\n}',
            language: 'javascript',
            minimap: { enabled: false },
            automaticLayout: true,
            scrollBeyondLastLine: false
          });
        });
    </script>
    </body>
</html>

It works perfectly in Chrome, but it does not display the editor in Safari because of max-height:100% of #container > *. If we set it to max-height:100vh or height: 100vh, it works more or less in Safari (with a little bit flashing when the focus reaches the bottom of the editor), whereas it shows a scroller while scrolling up and down in Chrome.

Does anyone have a solution that works both in Chrome and Safari? Otherwise, is it possible to set specific rule for Chrome or Safari only?
