How to fix the footer in bottom of last page? - css

In Jsreport am having 5 to 6 pages of content. I am having the footer also. So i want to set the footer in bottom of last page. Please anyone suggest.

Try this,
Let me know if this helpful.
<footer style=" position:fixed; bottom:0px; left:0px; right:0px;border:1px solid red;">
<h1>This is my footer</h1>
</footer>

I think you can't solve this with just css, because fixed or absolute positioning of the element will make the footer visible on every page and you want to have it just on the last one.
However I believe you can solve it with jsreport pdf-utils extension. The trick looks like this.
Define an extra template representing the footer. Use the css to put the content to the bottom. And use custom handlebars helper to display the footer only for the last page.
{{#lastPage}}
<style>
.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
}
</style>
<div class='footer'>
content
</div>
{{/lastPage}}
// custom helper
function lastPage(opts) {
if (this.$pdf.pageIndex === (this.$pdf.pages.length - 1)) {
return opts.fn(this)
}
return ''
}
Then append to the main content an empty placeholder which will reserve the space for the footer.
<!--placeholder for the footer-->
<div style='height:50px;'></div>
The last step is to configure pdf utils extension to merge the footer template with "render for every page" selected.
I prepared demo in the jsreport playground so you can fiddle with it.

Why is the closing body tag HTML5 being inserted at the bottom of the page when I close it before footer?

I am attempting to create a footer tag to change the background color of it.
footer {
display: block;
background-color: #92a8d1 !important;
}
<footer>
<div class="container-fluid" name="footer">
</div>
</footer>
Code

Could someone help me fix the code for CSS color displays on the footer?
I cant comment yet so will just answer here. You might not have a height for your footer, that is why it is not showing. Try setting a height like:
footer {
/*display: block;*/ /*remove this, footer is already a block element*/
height: 200px;
background-color: #92a8d1 !important;
}
This might help. You can send a sample/plunk of your code in order for us to help you better.
This is because the footer does have to be inside the body. After the body comes only the closing html-Tag.
If you want a footer for your page, add it before the closing body Tag. This is the same behaviour as if you would have a p-tag in another p-tag. The browser auto corrects your errors and places them next to each other.
If I got your question right this should work :
<footer style="background-color: #92a8d1;">
<div class="container-fluid"> </div>
</footer>
I think the background-color is overwritten by an other style.

Force Bootstrap's collapsed navigation 100% height

So, I'd like to set the height of the collapsed navigation of bootstrap to 100% height.
e.g. https://getbootstrap.com/examples/navbar/ this should span over the whole screen.
I did some research and mostly found people using height: 100vh; but this is not dynamics, shouldn't matter too much in the end though, but I still don't like it.
Usually, one could e.g. do:
<div id="bar">
<div id="foo">
test
</div>
</div>
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
#foo, #bar{
background-color: red;
min-height: 100%;
}
But I'm asking myself now, what's the best approach to implement this when using bootstrap v3.
you can hide the Content while the Navigation is collapsed using JavaScript..
for example: document.getElementById("ID").style.display = none;
if there is no content under the Navigation, there is nothing to scroll... :P
So I'm asking myself then, how I can deactive scrolling when the navigation collapsed?
I somehow fail listening to the proper event
As per your comment, I see the issue is that you dont get the proper point of the collapse. The plugin provides the events on collapse.
By bootstrap documentation this is how you do
$('#foo').on('hidden.bs.collapse', function () {
// do something…
})

PDFReactor - Footer shows right after end of content, instead of the bottom of the page

I have set my footer as a running element. The HTML content of the footer is set at the end of the document, thus making the footer show only on the last page of the document (which is what I want).
<!-- DTD declaration -->
<html>
<!-- head -->
<body>
<!-- My content -->
<footer>
<!-- footer content -->
</footer>
</body>
</html>
The problem is that the footer shows directly under the content, instead of its specified position:
footer {
width: auto;
margin: 0 auto;
position: running(footerIdentifier);
}
#page {
#bottom-center {
content: element(footerIdentifier);
}
}
I have tried the classic approach, but I need to calculate the push block dynamically depending on too much different content to get a perfect position for the footer everytime.
Shouldn't this code make the footer appear at the bottom center of the page?
I have been browsing the manual (HTML)(PDF) specifically for the Running Elements for a while and I can't seem to find my mistake.
I still didn't find why PDF Reactor won't behave like it should, but in the meantime I used the widely-known regular CSS way:
footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}

How can I align a div element in existing content

I will explain with a little example here:
I have html page with some content already, and without modifying that content I want to insert some message (say inserting an image) in middle of the already existing content by leaving the div at top.
Take look at this picture, which is before doing some css work:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/uhJbx.png
Description: Image inserted in the content at the top of the content with div is at the top
And now after applying the css, I want to place some where in between the content, like this:
http://i.stack.imgur.com/67YFf.png
Description: Image inserted with css aligned in middle of the content but div is at the top
HTML:
<div class="myimg">
<img src=http://s14.postimg.org/miss2r3xt/html_css.jpg />
</div>
<p>Some paragraph </p>
<strong>What is HTML?</strong>
<strong>What is CSS?</strong>
<p>Some paragraph</p>
CSS:
.myimg {
position: absolute;
}
Here is link for a simple example, that I am trying to modify at jsfiddle.
Let me know if you guys can help!!!
For adding some elements with CSS, take a look at :after et :before.
For example, you can add this line to your css
strong:before{
content:url('http://s14.postimg.org/miss2r3xt/html_css.jpg');
}
If you accept jQuery solution, this would place the image after the first paragraph in the content:
$(document).ready(function(){
var theImg = $('.myimg').remove();
$('p').first().after(theImg);
});
If you have a marker in your content, then use that marker instead of $('p').first().
Your fidlle, updated with this approach:
http://jsfiddle.net/ZjCfp/9/
Try out below css to position the image with out modifying the html content:
.myimg {
margin-top: 100px;
}
div.myimg + p {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
Have a look at the working demo here: Demo

Make a div into a link

I have a <div> block with some fancy visual content that I don't want to change. I want to make it a clickable link.
I'm looking for something like <div> … </div>, but that is valid XHTML 1.1.
Came here in the hope of finding a better solution that mine, but I don't like any of the ones on offer here. I think some of you have misunderstood the question. The OP wants to make a div full of content behave like a link. One example of this would be facebook ads - if you look, they're actually proper markup.
For me the no-nos are: javascript (shouldn't be needed just for a link, and very bad SEO/accessibility); invalid HTML.
In essence it's this:
Build your panel using normal CSS techniques and valid HTML.
Somewhere in there put a link that you want to be the default link if the user clicks on the panel (you can have other links too).
Inside that link, put an empty span tag (<span></span>, not <span /> - thanks #Campey)
give the panel position:relative
apply the following CSS to the empty span:
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left: 0;
z-index: 1;
/* fixes overlap error in IE7/8,
make sure you have an empty gif */
background-image: url('empty.gif');
}
It will now cover the panel, and as it's inside an <A> tag, it's a clickable link
give any other links inside the panel position:relative and a suitable z-index (>1) to bring them in front of the default span link
You can't make the div a link itself, but you can make an <a> tag act as a block, the same behaviour a <div> has.
a {
display: block;
}
You can then set the width and height on it.
This is an ancient question, but I thought I'd answer it since everyone here has some crazy solutions. It's actually very very simple...
An anchor tag works like this -
EVERYTHING IN HERE TURNS INTO A LINK
Sooo...
<div id="thediv" />
Although I'm not sure if this is valid. If that's the reasoning behind spoken solutions, then I apologise...
Requires a little javascript.
But, your div would be clickable.
<div onclick="location.href='http://www.example.com';" style="cursor:pointer;"></div>
This option doesn’t require an empty.gif as in the most upvoted answer:
HTML:
<div class="feature">
</div>
CSS:
div.feature {
position: relative;
}
div.feature a {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
top: 0;
left: 0;
text-decoration: none; /* No underlines on the link */
z-index: 10; /* Places the link above everything else in the div */
background-color: #FFF; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
opacity: 0; /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
filter: alpha(opacity=1); /* Fix to make div clickable in IE */
}
As proposed at http://www.digitalskydesign.com/how-to-make-an-entire-div-a-link-using-css/
This is a "valid" solution to achieving what you want.
<style type="text/css">
.myspan {
display: block;
}
</style>
<span class="myspan">text</span>
But most-likely what you really want is to have an <a> tag displayed as a block level element.
I would not advise using JavaScript to simulate a hyperlink as that defeats the purpose of markup validation, which is ultimately to promote accessibility (publishing well-formed documents following proper semantic rules minimizes the possibility the same document will be interpreted differently by different browsers).
It would be preferable to publish a web page that does not validate, but renders and functions properly on all browsers, including ones with JavaScript disabled. Furthermore, using onclick does not provide the semantic information for a screen reader to determine that the div is functioning as a link.
The cleanest way would be to use jQuery with the data-tags introduced in HTML. With this solution you can create a link on every tag you want. First define the tag (e.g. div) with a data-link tag:
<div data-link="http://www.google.at/">Some content in the div which is arbitrary</div>
Now you can style the div however you want. And you have to create also the style for the "link"-alike behavior:
[data-link] {
cursor: pointer;
}
And at last put this jQuery call to the page:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("[data-link]").click(function() {
window.location.href = $(this).attr("data-link");
return false;
});
});
With this code jQuery applys a click listener to every tag on the page which has a "data-link" attribute and redirects to the URL which is in the data-link attribute.
Not sure if this is valid but it worked for me.
The code :
<div style='position:relative;background-color:#000000;width:600px;height:30px;border:solid;'>
<p style='display:inline;color:#ffffff;float:left;'> Whatever </p>
<a style='position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:100%;height:100%;display:inline;' href ='#'></a>
</div>
To make thepeer's answer work in IE 7 and forward, it needs a few tweaks.
IE will not honour z-index if the element is has no background-color, so the link will not overlap parts of the containig div that has content, only the blank parts. To fix this a background is added with opacity 0.
For some reason IE7 and various compatibility modes completely fail when using the span in a link approach. However if the link itself is given the style it works just fine.
.blockLink
{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left: 0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
z-index: 1;
background-color:#ffffff;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=0)";
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
opacity:0;
}
<div style="position:relative">
<some content>
<a href="somepage" class="blockLink" />
<div>
you could also try by wrapping an anchor, then turning its height and width to be the same with its parent. This works for me perfectly.
<div id="css_ID">
</div>
An option that hasn't been mentioned is using flex. By applying flex: 1 to the a tag, it expands to fit the container.
div {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
display: flex;
border: 1px solid;
}
a {
flex: 1;
}
<div>
Link
</div>
This worked for me:
HTML:
<div>
WHATEVER YOU WANT
<a href="YOUR LINK HERE">
<span class="span-link"></span>
</a>
</div>
CSS:
.span-link {
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left: 0;
z-index: 9999;
}
This adds an invisible element (the span), which covers your entire div, and is above your whole div on the z-index, so when someone clicks on that div, the click is essentially intercepted by your invisible "span" layer, which is linked.
Note: If you're already using z-indexes for other elements, just make sure the value of this z-index is higher than anything you want it to rest "on top" of.
why not? use <div></div> works fine in HTML5
This example worked for me:
<div style="position: relative; width:191px; height:83px;">
</div>
This post is Old I know but I just had to fix the same issue because simply writing a normal link tag with the display set to block does not make the whole div clickable in IE. so to fix this issue far simpler than having to use JQuery.
Firstly let us understand why this happens: IE wont make an empty div clickable it only make the text/image within that div/a tag clickable.
Solution: Fill the div with a bakground image and hide it from the viewer.
How?
You ask good questions, now listen up.
add this backround style to the a tag
> "background:url('some_small_image_path')
> -2000px -2000px no-repeat;"
And there you have it the whole div is now clickable. This was the best way for me cause Im using it for my Photo Gallery to let the user clik on one half of the image to move left/right and then place a small image as well just for visual effects. so for me I used the left and right images as background images anyway!
Just have the link in the block and enhance it with jquery. It degrades 100% gracefully for anyone without javascript. Doing this with html isn't really the best solution imho.
For example:
<div id="div_link">
<h2>The Link and Headline</h2>
<p>Some more stuff and maybe another link.</p>
</div>
Then use jquery to make the block clickable (via web designer wall):
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#div_link").click(function(){
window.location=$(this).find("a").attr("href"); return false;
});
});
Then all you have to do is add cursor styles to the div
#div_link:hover {cursor: pointer;}
For bonus points only apply these styles if javascript is enabled by adding a 'js_enabled' class to the div, or the body, or whatever.
This is the best way to do it as used on the BBC website and the Guardian:
I found the technique here:
http://codepen.io/IschaGast/pen/Qjxpxo
heres the html
<div class="highlight block-link">
<h2>I am an example header</h2>
<p>This entire box links somewhere, thanks to faux block links. I am some example text with a custom link that sits within the block</p>
</div>
heres the CSS
/**
* Block Link
*
* A Faux block-level link. Used for when you need a block-level link with
* clickable areas within it as directly nesting a tags breaks things.
*/
.block-link {
position: relative;
}
.block-link a {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
}
.block-link .block-link__overlay-link {
position: static;
&:before {
bottom: 0;
content: "";
left: 0;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 0;
white-space: nowrap;
z-index: 0;
}
&:hover,
&:focus {
&:before {
background: rgba(255,255,0, .2);
}
}
}
<div> … </div>
Actually you need to include the JavaScript code at the moment,
check this tutorial to do so.
but there is a tricky way to achieve this using a CSS code
you must nest an anchor tag inside your div tag and you must apply this property to it,
display:block;
when you've done that,it will make the whole width area clickable (but within the height of the anchor tag),if you want to cover the whole div area you must set the height of the anchor tag exactly to the height of the div tag,for example:
height:60px;
this is gonna make the whole area clickable,then you can apply text-indent:-9999px to anchor tag to achieve the goal.
this is really tricky and simple and it's just created using CSS code.
here is an example: http://jsfiddle.net/hbirjand/RG8wW/
This work for me:
<div onclick="location.href='page.html';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
You can give a link to your div by following method:
<div class="boxdiv" onClick="window.location.href='https://www.google.co.in/'">google</div>
<style type="text/css">
.boxdiv {
cursor:pointer;
width:200px;
height:200px;
background-color:#FF0000;
color:#fff;
text-align:center;
font:13px/17px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
}
</style>
You can make surround the element with a href tags or you can use jquery and use
$('').click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//DO SOMETHING
});
This is the simplest way.
Say, this is the div block I want to make clickable:
<div class="inner_headL"></div>
So put a href as follows:
<a href="#">
<div class="inner_headL"></div>
</a>
Just consider the div block as a normal html element and enable the usual a href tag.
It works on FF at least.
I pulled in a variable because some values in my link will change depending on what record the user is coming from.
This worked for testing :
<div onclick="location.href='page.html';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
and this works too :
<div onclick="location.href='<%=Webpage%>';" style="cursor:pointer;">...</div>
While I don't recommend doing this under any circumstance, here is some code that makes a DIV into a link (note: this example uses jQuery and certain markup is removed for simplicity):
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("div[href]").click(function () {
window.location = $(this).attr("href");
});
});
</script>
<div href="http://www.google.com">
My Div Link
</div>
If you can use bootstrap, one simple solution is to use bootstrap .stretched-link.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/utilities/stretched-link/
Sample Code
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
<img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card with stretched link</h5>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
Go somewhere
</div>
</div>
Soviut's answer was not sufficient for me. I had to use
a { display: inline-flex; }
to remove baseline artifacts, when using just a img in the a.
Enclosing your div inside an anchor tag <a href></a> works like charm:
<a href="">
<div>anything goes here will turn into a link</div>
</a>
My smarty pants answer:
"Evasive answer to: "How to make block level element a hyperlink and validate in XHTML 1.1"
Just use HTML5 DOCTYPE DTD."
Didn't actually hold true for ie7
onclick="location.href='page.html';"
Works IE7-9, Chrome, Safari, Firefox,
if just everything could be this simple...
#logo {background:url(../global_images/csg-4b15a4b83d966.png) no-repeat top left;background-position:0 -825px;float:left;height:48px;position:relative;width:112px}
#logo a {padding-top:48px; display:block;}
<div id="logo"></div>
just think a little outside the box ;-)
