I spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to make my footer responsive (sticking to the bottom of the page, no matter what page). I finally figured out the code to make it do this:
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
But now, certain pages have the footer stuck in the middle. What seems to be happening is that the footer div is not recognizing the wrapper (body) div above it on certain pages. So the footer just stops at a certain point and the body continues to keep expanding.
You will see what I mean at http://library.skybundle.com/product-training/account-settings/
I'm sure there is a simple line or two of CSS that will fix this issue. Please help!
You need to set position to fixed instead.
#footer-bottom {
position:fixed;
bottom:0;
}
That will stick it to the bottom of the page.
Fixed refers to it's position in regards to the browser window, absolute is it's place on the page itself.
By the way, that is not what responsive means in regards to web design. Responsive refers to the page responding to the width of the page. Just FYI to avoid confusion in any future questions.

I'm currently working on a website using Elementor. I tried integrating a Footer using a separate plugin (Elementor Footer&Header), however, the footer didn't stick to the bottom of the page if there was only little or no content.
As this seems to be a common issue, I solved the problem by adding the following code:
div.footer-width-fixer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Now, the footer sticks to the bottom of the page, however, there 2 other problems:
The footer overlaps with the content in the bottom of the page (see attached image)
The footer is sticky, although I didn't set it up to be so. I only want the footer to appear at the bottom of the page, not while the visitor is scrolling.
Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you!

overlapping-footer
Its tough to tell if the footer is actually overlapping another sentence (I only speak english so I cant tell if the sentence ends or read it at all). But it looks like its only overlapping the padding on the button and its just snug to the text content.
You could try to add either
padding-top: {desired pixel amount}px;
or
margin-top: {desired pixel amount}px;
to the footer and see if that does the trick.
As for the position sticky, If your familiar with the inspect element feature in google chrome; you can see what the class selector is that is applying the sticky to the element and then you should be able to write a bit of css to overwrite that fairly easily!
I have had the same problem a few times but I simply fix this by setting the height of the section to either "fit to screen" or the VH to 100 - the header height (If you use a transparent header). I hope this has helped you and if you have any questions don't mind asking!
So I've been tinkering with this site, and I've got my work cut out, but right now I cannot for the life of me workout why content is displaying beyond the width of the window.
-redacted-
I believe it's something to do with bootstraps row/col guttering but have been unable to fix it, even with dreaded '!important' use.
Furthermore i note that a carousel button is extending beyond the width of the screen.
This basically just makes the site flimsy and seem broken.
Any css whizz out there able to give me some tips of this shit?
If the problem is with one specific tag (e.g. a <div>), add a class/id to that div with the following CSS: .classname { overflow-x: hidden; If it's the whole page, you might want to do that for the body and HTML tag. Note: When you do this last thing, people aren't able at all to scroll horizontally. This is a but user unfriendly, so you want to use that only if it's the only way out in my opinion.
I'm having a problem with this page.
The .blog-footer div needs to clear on the right to correct for the height of the pictures introducing clear:right; causes the huge gap to appear on the page in FF and IE.
I'm at a loss, I've tried numerous ideas to get around the problem and at this point I've been staring at it too long to see the problem clearly. Can anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance.
Try using positioning. Add these to get you started:
#page-body {position: relative; width: 740px; margin-left: 20px;}
#sidebar {position: absolute; right:-190px;}
There are some subtleties, like getting the right behaviour when the content as a whole is not long enough to push the footer down, but I find those easier to work out than floating problems. With a fixed height footer like yours, that is easy to fix using a bottom margin on the page body and some more absolute positioning for the footer. You have gobs and gobs of extra divs to play with.
The clear attribute works relative to floating elements. So you can use it to make sure the footer closes the div below the picture, but the fact that your sidebar is floating as well actually pushes things down to the bottom of the sidebar.
So, as #Nicholas Wilson proposes, one solution is to position your sidebar using means other than float. And your layout doesn't appear to really require float for the sidebar.
In another direction, I noticed that you are currently hardcoding the heights of your pictures. Since you know these heights, another possibility is to forget about the clear:right for blog-footer , and add a min-height attribute to the asset-body, as in (this is for the beer festival)
<div class="asset-body" style="min-height:184px;">
Certainly not elegant or DRY, but if you had to you could do this or have javascript do it.
[Update]
I actually compromised on this problem for now by foregoing the fixed footer design.
It seems that there is no problem with dynamic content moving the footer and resizing containers appropriately unless the footer is fixed to the browser bottom initially.
I hope others will eventually provide a great solution that encompasses the best of both worlds.
I spent all day trying to get the footer to move down the page to accommodate dynamically added (via ajax) content. I really need some pointers or links because I haven't found anything that helps.
Basically:
My site has some pages that begin with only a text box and a button so that the total height of the content area is only a few inches beneath the header area.
I don't have any problem getting the sticky footer working so that the footer appears at the bottom of the browser window even when there is very little content on screen.
That same css layout works fine for other pages that have content that extends beneath the browser window.
The catch:
The content has to be rendered and passed to the browser with the initial load.
The Problem:
Any content that is added to the page via AJAX after the initial load paints down the page correctly -- but the footer remains in its initial location.
Please tell me there is a fix for this.
I can't post the css until checking with my boss first - if possible - and if needed, I will later - but it's just a very basic version of the many sticky footer css solutions floating around the web.
Thanks.
Currently fixed similar situation with small jQuery and CSS, where parameter is footer div object (i.e. $("#mainfooter")):
function positionFooter(obj){
if ($("body").outerHeight(true) > $(window).height()) {
obj.css("position","relative");
} else {
obj.css("position","fixed");
obj.css("bottom","0px");
}
}
Bound this function to $(document).ready and $(window).resize.
If ajax call resizes body, this should be called also after content load.
It sounds like your footer is using display: fixed or similar. Try changing the container of your footer to:
bottom: 0;
display: block;
position: absolute;
That will ensure it appears right at the bottom of whatever container it sits within (I'm assuming the <body> tag). Your problem now becomes ensuring that it appears at the bottom of the screen rather than the bottom of your document, which starts of being much shorter. You could accomplish this in a couple of ways, but perhaps the easiest would be to set a minimum height on your AJAX content container:
min-height: 600px;
height: auto !important /* This is a hack to make IE6 fix itself to a set height */
height: 600px; /* IE6 will always follow whatever instruction appears last, even if !important is specified */
The other approach is since you're using a JavaScript library (I assume?) to grab the required content, perhaps you could also adjust the height of the AJAX content container or change the footer's CSS once that content has loaded?
Without any code it´s hard to tell what the problem might be.
However, I´m using a sticky footer as described here that works very well although I haven´t added ajax content in it. Browser resizing works just fine though.
Use include in PHP and call the footer after the dynamic content appears.
I'm not sure you are looking for this, but I am also facing the same problem before and same CSS, where my content overlaps on the footer when i call the ajax through jQuery method.
Now I found the solution: Just get the div height through jQuery and apply the height to the div where you are returning your results from ajax.
var obj = $("#viewcomm").height();
if($.browser.msie) {
$("#viewcomm").height(obj).css({cursor:"auto"});
}
where here viewcomm is div ID.
I solved same kind of problem with following code, where content is the id of div where php pages load and footer is the footer tag.
var footerAdjustId = setInterval(adjustFooter, 2000);
function adjustFooter(){
$("footer").css("marginTop", $("#content").height() - $(window).height());
clearInterval(footerAdjustId);
}
Alright I have a CSS liquid div based layout for my personal web site. The address is
http://danberinger.com/preview.html
The problem is the I do not want the footer section to act as if it were displayed inline, because right now when the window is stretched beyond the pixel width needed for the intro_container, it moves the footer div to the right of it. I would like this footer to stay put at the bottom of the page rather than moving up and to the right when space allows for it.
Thanks for any help you can offer. I have loved this forum so far, very helpful.
#footer {
clear: both;
}
This will ensure it is always pushed down below all other floated content. This seems to provide the effect you are asking for.
here is css fix for it
#footer{
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
}
