I have been trying to fix the length of this div for awhile, and I'm sure it is something completely simple, just not seeing it. The div for the content "page" is extending well beyond the footer and I can manipulate the length with the min-height property in css however I want to make sure that the footer/"page" div extend to bottom regardless of the content so I don't want to set a definite length for the div.
EDIT:

Footer cs
#footer {
background: #365F91;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
height: 35px;
position:relative;
bottom:0px;
clear:both;
}
#footer p {
margin: 0;
text-align: center;
font-size: 77%;
}
#footer a {
text-decoration: underline;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
#footer a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
}
changing footer position from relative to absolute had no change
Change relative to absolute, and remove min-height from #page.
#footer { position: absolute; }
You'll also need to make sure that you only have 1 #page per page.
Working fiddle.
Go old school.....add this to you css of #footer
bottom: -500px;
padding-bottom: -500px;
working demo
CSS
#footer {
background: #365F91;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
height: 80px;
position:relative;
bottom: -500px; /* push to the bottom */
padding-bottom: -500px; /* maintain equilibrium by giving footer its height!!*/
}
EDIT
to make footer stretch to height, if content exceeds
demo
#footer {
background: #365F91;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
min-height: 80px; /*change height to min-height, this will always cover the content height*/
position:relative;
bottom: -500px;
padding-bottom: -500px;
}
If you want a scrollable footer if content exceeds
demo
#footer {
background: #365F91;
color: #000000;
width:100%;
height: 80px; /*keep height fixed*/
overflow-y:scroll; /*scroll when content size increases */
position:relative;
bottom: -500px;
padding-bottom: -500px;
}
You want to use something called sticky footer.

Or you can use my solution without using pseudo class :after

I've been struggling for hours to try and get this simple border to appear on top of a div of a set height, but it's just not happening. I've checked out z-indexing and ':after', but nothing seems to be working.
The content's parent is: (establishes the content to be in the middle of the page)
#content {
position: relative;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
top: 50px;
width:800px;
}
The content is then filled by the div-class "greycontent":
.greycontent {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
height: 350px;
background: url(images/stacked_circles.png) repeat;
}
The area that is now covered by the background URL attempts to contain a border (away from edges):
.fill {
position:relative;
z-index: 2;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 2px;
border-color: red;
}
It just won't work. If my description was unclear, this image should clear up what I'm trying to convey:
Thank you!
JsFiddle
Just in case you do not want to put a ::before or ::after elements, you can simply use the background-clip property.
.myDiv {
background-clip: padding-box;
}
Exemple: https://codepen.io/geekschool/pen/JBdpdj
Is this what your trying to achieve? jsFiddle
#content {
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
top: 50px;
width:800px;
overflow:hidden;
background:#ccc;
width:800px;
}
.greycontent {
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
height: 350px;
width:350px;
border:1px solid #fff;
background:#ccc;
margin:0 auto 60px;
}
Updated your jsFiddle.
So I have two elements floated next to each other and one has a set width and the other needs to be a percentage so that when the window/browser is resized the content will flow with it. However I am having trouble keeping the content floated next to each other when the window size is smaller than certain ratio.
Here is my css code:
.box {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
background-color: blue;
}
p {
width: 95%;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
Is there a way around this? Here is my fiddle so you can see what is going on.
My example
If you make the size smaller you will see the P tag drops down below the box.
If the box is a fixed width you can use the following styles:
.item {
padding-left: 60px;
}
.box {
width: 50px;
height: 50px;
float: left;
margin-left: -60px;
background-color: blue;
}
p {
width: 100%;
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
http://jsfiddle.net/3QhzS/1/
otherwise you will need to add a little bit of jquery to it to add styles on the fly:
http://jsfiddle.net/3QhzS/6/
If you don't know the width of the div.box (as you stated in comments) then you can use position:relative to the p tag which will do the trick.
p{
position:relative;
/* anchoring top, left and right sides */
top:0px;
right:0px;
left:0px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
Working Fiddle
Working Fiddle(with two div's)
I have two layer,one is black overlay:
#overlay {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0.7);
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
z-index: 0;
display: none;
}
the other is my text container:
#wrap {
z-index: 999
width:600px;
height:600px;
border:5px solid black;
display:none;
color:red;
}
I want let the overlay and the container show at the same time:
$(document).click(function () {
$('#overlay').add('#wrap').fadeIn();
})
but the text container is always under the overlay,although I have set the overlay z-index to 0 and set the container z-index to 999.
Demo is here
finally I found I have to set the overlay z-index to -1, it would work.
Why I can not set the overlay's z-index more higher?Because its position is fixed?
z-index is not applied to #wrap because it has flow positioning. A box must have at least position: relative; before z-index takes effect.
Also, your z-index value is missing its semicolon. Make it z-index: 999; and it works. My code is below:
#wrap {
z-index: 999;
width:600px;
height:600px;
border:5px solid black;
background: #FFF;
display:none;
color:red;
position: relative; }
An element with static positioning(this is the default) is unaffected by the z-index property, change its positioning to relative
Im very new to css and I still find hard to understand some concepts especially positioning.
Anyway, my problem is that my when I set position: relative; of the container and my footer position: absolute;
bottom: 0; the footer became small. It had the same width as the container which is supposed to be before I placed those codes. I did it because I want my footer to be at the most bottom part of the container.
Below is the screen shot:
The maroon is the footer.
In my footer I don't use div but instead I use html element <footer>.
My css codes:
div#container {
height: 100%;
width: 1000px;
margin: auto;
background-color: #C9C9C9;
position: relative;
}
footer {
background-color: #340B09;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
Please help.
Add width: 1000px; to your footer
Check this, if that may help you
https://developer.mozilla.org/samples/cssref/css-positioning.html
i will also encourage, you to have firebug installed in your browser
Also above the footer, add some div container, give it some height.. so that footer will stay at bottom. don't use positioning explicitly... since you are new to this.
Get yourself some time, you will be there on top of it..with CSS position :- )
Is it necessary for you to use relative and absolute positioning ? I'm asking since it has one drawback which is that the layout of the page will not be the same as always for all the different sizes of the screen.
Since you wanted to display footer at the bottom of the container, so here it can be done in this way.
<style type='text/css'>
body{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background-color: black;
}
#inbody{ /* main page */
padding-top: 10px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
height: 1170px;
}
#container{ /*container */
padding: 10px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-left: 30px;
margin-right: 30px;
height: 1130px;
background-color: orange;
}
#header{ /* header */
margin-left: 168px;
height: 51px;
}
#midbody{ /* middle body */
margin: 10px;
padding: 0px;
height: 999px;
}
#footer{ /* footer */
padding: 10px;
height: 30px;
background-color: black;
}
</style>
Moreover you can change colors of every part to see the changes. Also use inspect element which shows the HTML and CSS of the web page. Also for the box model concept try experimenting the metrics in the inspect element.
You are using;
footer {
background-color: #340B09;
height: 50px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
If footer is some ID or Class, it should be defined in CSS like #footer or .footer and no problem if you are using html5 element footer.
If you want to stretch an element to fill container, use width: 100%. Add this to your footer if footer is inside your container. Otherwise it will stretch to screen.
I properly solved it by declaring width of footer to 980px; When I tried 1000px it became wider than the container because after researching I found out that mozilla and webkit doesn't include padding in the width.
I having difficulties setting my footer properly. I have a Bottom navigation bar as part of my footer which is working fine(color:#7A7A7A). The issue is with the copy right information that follows. It has an address and phone number. I am wanting that this side of the footer to have a black bakcground(#000). This part is labeled in the css under copyRight which i am not get any results. Any Ideas of what may be wrong?
Here is my Live EXAMPLE.

You're floating the contents of #copyRight so it needs to be floated in order to contain them properly. Add this to #copyRight:
float: left;
width: 100%;
Read Brilliand detailed explanation below
Add overflow:hidden in #copyRight
So your CSS should look like this:
#copyRight{
background:#000;
color: #FFF;
font-size: 75%;
bottom: 0;
overflow:hidden
}
The problem you are having is that most elements, including divs, do not by default expand to contain floating elements. Since everything within copyRight is floating, it behaves as though it were empty, and shrinks to nothing.
There are many ways to make an element expand to contain floating elements. My personal favorite is to set overflow to just about anything - hidden being the most common.
#copyRight{
overflow: hidden;
}
Another way is to make the containing element float too, though it's then liable to cause the same problem with the element trying to contain it. Also, floating causes shrinkwrapping, so you have to set an explicit width:
#copyRight{
float: left;
width: 100%;
}
A similar result can be achieved using various display declarations, such as display: inline-block. This avoids propagating the problem to the parent element:
#copyRight{
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
}
Apparently back in 2004 it was considered a wonderful new idea to solve such a problem by inserting a clearing element with the :after pseudo-class instead of the older method of adding a <div style="clear:both;"></div>. Those tricks would also solve your problem, though clearing floats and containing them are not quite the same thing.
