flex container min-height ignored in IE

IE 10 & 11 have a number of issues with rendering flexbox properly.

Here’s one: A flex container doesn’t respect the min-height property in these browsers.

A simple solution is to make your flex container also a flex item.

Just add this to your code (no other changes necessary):

body {
   display: flex;
   flex-direction: column;
}
