I am working on a website and have tried to stick the footer to the bottom, since many pages will not be long enough to push the footer to the bottom.
I have applied this technique: http://mystrd.at/modern-clean-css-sticky-footer/
My page can be viewed here: https://jsfiddle.net/cgLf0oLa/
I believe that this CSS input is very important:
html {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0 0 400px;
}
However, I am experiencing trouble. The footer is being rendered on top of the other content, and I have no clue how to make it adjust to the content size.
Help is much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Clemens
Try adding an :after with height equal the height of the footer to the wrapper above the footer. It leaves blank area below the footer, which pushes the footer to the bottom.

On some of the pages of the website I am creating, due to lack of content, the footer does not stick to the bottom and there's an unwanted white space below it.
Googling the issue, I've found different solutions like this one. So I figured min-height: 100vh is the ultimate solution. The problem is when I use that property for the main page container, it adds white space below the content to get the footer stick to the bottom which is again undesirable:
It seems to me that it just place the white space elsewhere (in the middle of the page instead of at the bottom of the page). Is there a neater solution for keeping the footer at the bottom?
I think you need to following to your footer...
#bottom-footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}
Thanks
I added code to my css so my background would stop stretching, when content is on the page. However now my content is being cut off, and I think its because the footer is not staying at the bottom of the page. Its visible if the page loads a little slow, but once the content loads you can't see the footer anymore. Nor can you scroll down without changing the height. I've tried plugins, and additional code suggested on other post. None have helped. Is there a way I can keep my footer at the bottom, while keeping the code that keeps my background from stretching? edit I'm sorry left out the code that used to stop the stretching. It can be seen below. Also, an example of what is happening can be seen here.
#primary
{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
height: 100%;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
}
This is a screenshot of the original issue.. My content (the player) can be seen completely, but the background is stretched. By adding position: absolute;I got the background to load correctly, but now the content is cut off. A screenshot of results can be seen here for my mobile device, and Here for my desktop. As you can see, the player cuts off on mobile, and both don't show the footer. At first I thought the footer was loading. After changing the value of top, I can see the footer which seems to be behind the content. I changed it to top: 370, and I got this for on my mobile, and this on my desktop.. The social icons in the footer is there, but its loading behind the content, and in the middle of the page. It appears that is why my content is being cut off.
I'm not sure I entirely understand your question... but I think the issue with your CSS is the height: 100%;. Adding 100% height makes it 100% height of the screen - and because it doesn't start at the top of the page it extends down below the bottom of the visible area. If you add the CSS top: 0; then you'll see what I mean - it no longer goes below the bottom of the screen, however it now overlaps the header. To get around this, you can change the CSS to:
position: absolute;
left: 0;
height: calc(100% - 54px); /*Minus the height of the header*/
top: 54px; /*The height of the header*/
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;
I hope this helps, if not please explain the issue in more detail and I'll see if I can help!
After a few days of troubleshooting and searching the web, I found a solution for my problem. I added code to put the footer at the bottom of the page. The code left the footer stickied, instead of at the bottom of all the content. It also didn't change the cutting off of my content. So I knew it wasn't the footer.
The way I wanted the footer to be at the bottom of the content. So a fixed footer isn't what I needed, but I found out a pushing footer would do the trick. Apparently, when the its not a lot of content on the page, sometimes the footer will push up to where the content stops. So my next step was to find out exactly what was cutting the conter off.
It the container that was cutting off in the middle of the layout. #primary in the code the make background stop stretching was the wrong selector, so I changed it to body. I also added a code to make the height and width of the container 100%. Then BOOM it worked. Below is all the additional css I used to fixed the problem. Thank you to everybody who helped me.
body {
width:100%;
height:100%;}
body {
position: absolute;
background-size: cover;
background-attachment: fixed;}
I'm using Twitter bootstrap with a template I purchased. I had to do a bit of work to get the footer to appear and look acceptable, but now it is always too low.
What I mean is, white space will always be added so that the footer is below the bottom of the screen - you always have to scroll down to see it.
Here's a link to the site. You only need to look at the homepage to see the problem.
If you want to remove the extra white spacing that is causing your page to grow more then it should, just remove:
body {
padding-bottom: 40px;
padding-top: 60px;
}
#wrap {
min-height: 100%;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
If what you are trying to achiev with the footer, is to allways stick it on the bottom of the page you should follow a technique called sticky footer something like this
The problem seems to be that you have the #wrap element set to 'min-height: 100%;'. If you are ok with the footer just being at the bottom of the content rather than the bottom of the page then removing that should be an easy fix.
This footer on Stack Overflow is a dream: full length footer in color different than body, yet with text that is aligned with the center column AND it's sticky to the bottom of the page.
I think I got the sticky part but can't conceptualize how the alignment with the full length footer does its thing.
I'm wondering if anyone has successfully built a footer like the one here in Stack Overflow and if they can help me understand the coding.
It's because stackoverflow, like many sites, uses a widely accepted 960px page container width standard.
Within your full-width footer container, put a second, invisible container for the content, whose width is the same as the width of the main document body, e.g. 960px. Here is stackoverflow's body container:
#content {
margin: 0 auto;
width: 960px;
min-height: 450px;
}
And here is the container for the footer content:
.footerwrap {
margin: 0 auto;
text-align: left;
width: 960px;
}
Additionally, I don't think the footer 'sticks' to anything. It's simply at the end of the document, so it's rendered at the bottom of the page. I might be wrong as I haven't looked at stackoverflow's html source in that much detail, but anything else seems like overkill.
yes another problem with this scroll bar
alright so I started the website over again that was mentioned here
and I am having problems with this scroll bar again
alright so all I have is a single image in a div tag
<div align="center" id="SuggestionBox">
<img src="images/SuggestionBox.jpg"/>
</div>
this code displays right but
when I make the browser window small enough that the full image can not be seen it doesn't give me a scroll bar to see the whole image
hopefully this makes sense
I am using firefox
EDIT:
I tried overflow:scroll and it did not work
this was the outcome
and this happened in the middle of the page
I also tried 'overflow:scroll' on the body of the page through css and all it did was show disabled scroll bars that did not change no matter the size of the browser
also some people are a bit confused
so
this picture might help
notice how the image is not fully shown
well, I want there to be scroll bars in case the user wants to see the whole image
but they're not appearing
also here is all my css code:
body
{
background-image:url("images/background.jpg");
}
a:hover
{
color:#FF0000;
}
table
{
background-color:#FFFFFF;
}
#SuggestionBox
{
position:relative;
right:375px;
}
thanks
Good Luck
get it?
I may not be understanding your question, but it looks like your problem is that you've disabled scrolling in the body but would like the div to scroll. #lukiffer's answer is right. When you resize your browser, however, the scrolling div, which is a fixed size, isn't overflowing because its content still fits.
Are you wanting your "SuggestionBox" div to anchor to the page so that it resizes along with the page? That would enable it to change sizes as the browser does and thus add scroll bars when its content doesn't fit:
#SuggestionBox
{
position: absolute;
/* Change these to establish where to place the div. All zeroes
means it fills its whole container */
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
overflow: scroll;
}
Update:
I don't get what #SuggestionBox is supposed to be. If you're just wanting a centered image link, you could get rid of the div and just have this as your markup:
<a id="SuggestionBox"></a>
And for that <a/>, you could have the following CSS:
#SuggestionBox {
display: block;
width: 100px; /* Or whatever the width is */
height: 100px; /* Or whatever the height is */
background-image: url(images/SuggestionBox.jpg);
margin: 0 auto;
}
If your reason for having the div was to give your link a right margin of 375px, your CSS could have the margin set to 0 375px 0 auto instead.
If you use this simple HTML/CSS, your body should be able to scroll normally (unless you have other CSS or HTML that you haven't posted that's breaking it).
div#SuggestionBox { overflow:scroll; }
