AOS Library: last
isn't shown due to page length

Question

I seem to have a problem with the AOS (animate-on-scroll) library in my html page. The code works fine, but the issue is that the last div doesn't run its AOS code (fade-right) until the user is scrolling over it within a certain range of pixels, meaning that if my height is set at "100%", the page will just show a blank space where the div is supposed to be. This is because the content of the last div is too short to actually let the user scroll withing said range. Of course, the code runs fine if I extend the height of the html to a specified value that is longer than the height occupied by the elements in the page, but I really would like to avoid that and just allow this last div to appear without having to add space for the user to scroll just a little bit more. I'll leave a snippet for clarification.

html{
  height:100%;
}
body{
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

h1{
  font-size : 90px;
  text-align: center;
}

p{
  width:50%;
  font-size:20px;
  text-align:justify;
  margin:auto;
  padding:20px;
  background-color: #3E9AE0;
}

div{
  margin-bottom:50px;
}

After a little bit of tampering with the code, I may have found a solution to this specific case. Setting the height for the html tag, in CSS, to the attribute "fit-content" seems to do the trick just fine, for pages that are simply structured such as mine. You may want to try something else if you have positioned your elements in a particular way near the end of the page. Here's the (very brief) code needed for this solution, to type in your CSS file:

html{height:fit-content;}

As a (most likely irrelevant) side-note: this attribute is not supported in Internet Explorer.
