I am trying to make the sidebar fill the height between the header and foot. As you can see it is going behind the footer. I would like it to stop at the top of the footer. Any help would be great!
Demo at: http://www.jsfiddle.net/pEbhK/
The HTML:
<div class="header">
<h2>Development Area</h2>
</div>
<div class="sidebar">
<h2>Current Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>iCalendar</li>
<li>MyBand - Student Center</li>
</ul>
<h2>Future Projects</h2>
<ul>
<li>Mobile Application</li>
<li>RSS Feed</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="footer">© 2013</div>
The CSS:
html, body, h1, h2 {
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
}
.clear {
clear:both;
}
.header {
display:inline-block;
width:100%;
background:#ABBFF2;
height:100px;
border-bottom: 5px solid #7F9DEB;
text-align:center;
}
.header h2 {
padding-top:38px;
}
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
height:100%;
width:250px;
background:#ABBFF2;
border-right:5px solid #7F9DEB;
float:left;
}
.sidebar h2 {
text-align:center;
}
.footer {
position:fixed;
display:inline-block;
bottom:0px;
width:100%;
height:30px;
border-top:5px solid #7f9deb;
text-align:center;
}
Try height:calc(100% - 140px) in .sidebar
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
height:calc(100% - 140px);
width:250px;
background:#ABBFF2;
border-right:5px solid #7F9DEB;
float:left;
}
updated jsFiddle File
A non-calc() way of doing this...
Your sidebar and footed have position: fixed, so they are positioned with respect to the view port.
You can size the sidebar using the following CSS:
.sidebar {
position: fixed;
top: 105px;
bottom: 35px;
left: 0px;
width:250px;
background:#ABBFF2;
border-right:5px solid #7F9DEB;
}
The value for the top offset is the header height + 5px for the border. Likewise, the bottom offset is the footer height + 5px for its border.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/Lfpxq/
Note: You may want to add a min-height to the sidebar to prevent the content overflow issues. I think the same issue arises when using the calc() method.
Or write this to .footer in the css
background-color: #fff;

I'm trying to get the "item" links inside the "menu" to stay inside the "navWrapper"/"navContent" when the browser is resized.....yet when I decrease the width of the browser window they keep staying off to the right outside these divs....any ideas on how to keep them all contained inside the nav area?
<div id="navWrapper">
<div id="navContent">
<div id="logo"><img src="assets/logo.png"></div>
<div id="menu">
<div class="item">dadada</div>
<div class="item">dadada</div>
</div>
</div>
#navWrapper {
background-color:#3f3f3f;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-right: 20px;
border-top-right-radius: 0px;
border-top-left-radius: 0px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 30px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 30px;
margin-top:0 auto;
}
#navContent {
width:950px;
height:65px;
}
#navContent #logo {
width:200px;
float:left;
display:inline;
margin-left:30px;
margin-top:15px;
}
#navContent #menu {
width:466px;
height:25px;
float:right;
display:inline;
border: 1px solid #ffffff;
margin-right:30px;
margin-top:15px;
}

It also makes the navContent responsive.
if you keep the menu with a fixed width that is going to happen always.
I suggest you to dig into mediaqueries so, depeding on the screen resolution, are the styles you might set.
Also you can try by setting the navContent like this:
#navContent {max-width:950px;} /* instead of width */
And remove the width in the #menu, is not required if is floated.
This way the nav is not going to be wider than its containers (be sure there are no containers with a fixed with).
I insist, if you want to be very accurate on the result, try by appliying mediaqueries.
Here some documentation and a cool tool to detect what resolution you are viewing [link]
This method is only recommended if your header does not have an expanding height (ie, if the navigation isn't supposed to wrap
Give the container a min/max width, but let it use "auto" as the actual width. The minimum will allow users on small screens/devices to scroll over and use your navigation, rather than letting it spill off screen and potentially out of the box. It still goes off-screen, but in an expected way. (tip: use an #media query to change the menu layout on those small screens)
#navWrapper {
width: auto;
max-width: 960px;
min-width: 560px;
}
Position the #navContent so that it is relative and does not have a width. This will let you position children elements relative to this div. Note that you must specify a height for this container as well, but you have already done that in your CSS
#navContent {
position: relative;
width: auto;
}
Now position the elements that should appear in the menu. Don't bother with margin or padding for the original elements. Use absolute positioning. Get it perfect.
The magic, you can attach this to the right of the menu.
#navContent #logo {
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
left: 30px;
/* Used to reset your CSS */
margin: 0;
}
#navContent #menu {
position: absolute;
top: 15px;
right: 30px;
/* Used to reset your CSS */
display: block;
float: none;
margin: 0;
}
For the navigation, I suggest the .item classes be inline, and the links be floated blocks. This means the "items" won't be much more than a wrapper, and the links can be given a background or borders without the strange "deadzone" between them. Padding on navigation links is great for usability & touch devices.
#navContent #menu .item {
display: inline;
}
#navContent #menu .item a {
display: block;
float: left;
/* padding, background, border... go nuts */
}
You don't need to clear the navigation in this case, since the #menu is positioned absolutely it won't affect other elements to begin with.
try this
html
<div id="navWrapper">
<div id="navContent">
<div id="logo"><img src="assets/doityourweb-logo.png"/></div></div>

Browser support
How about this solution? no extra markup needed, cross browser and does not depend on the width of the element
#content {
width:400px;
height: 200px;
margin:auto;
position: relative;
}
#content:before{
content: '';
height: 1px;
background: red;
position: absolute;
top: -5px;
right: 0;
width: 999%; /*a large number*/
}
Demo fiddle
here is another solution and it is cross browser http://jsfiddle.net/9qrSy/3
<div class="inner"></div>
<div class="wrapp"></div>
css
body {
padding:8px;
}
div.wrapp {
width:300px;
height:300px;
border:2px solid green;
margin:auto;
position:relative;
}
div.wrapp:before {
content:'';
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:1px;
right:0;
top:-6px;
background:blue;
z-index:1;
}
.inner {
width:50%;
float:left;
position:absolute;
height:1px;
left:0;
top:12px;
background:blue;
}
I am not sure if this works in all browsers, but I believe hr takes up all the space you provide it with. Therefore you can give it a large negative left-margin and put it inside the centered div. Instead of a hr-element, you could use an empty div too, which might or might not be easier to use. You can set the border-top style of that div to a wider range of border-types (dotted for example).
<div id="content">
<hr id="bar" />
<div id="realcontent">

With CSS:
#content {

#bar {

margin-bottom: 5px;

#realcontent {

I am trying to get a Sticky Footer to work, and have currently tried the following css:
#footer {
width:920px;
height:208px;
font-size:10px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background-image:url(images/grad.png);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
padding:0 20px;
clear:both;
position:relative;
margin-top:-208px;
}
body {
margin:0;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:13px;
color:#333333;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#wrap {
width:960px;
margin:0 auto;
min-height:100%;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
width:892px;
float:left;
border-left:4px solid white;
border-right:4px solid white;
padding:15px 0px 15px 20px;
background-image:url(images/sidebar_bg.png);
position:relative;
padding-bottom:143px;
}
I have had to reduce the #content padding-bottom, so it would fit. But I am still having issues. Firstly, There is too much space at the bottom of longer pages (see - http://bellbird.redgraphic.co.uk/headteacher/ ) Secondly, on a shorter page the footer doesnt scroll up when the browser window is resized (see - http://bellbird.redgraphic.co.uk/school-council/ )
Sticky footers always seem to be an issue, so I must be missing a trick.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

display:block;
}
I left out CSS for the hover images of the sprite to shorten my post. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
You already know the width of the header and the logo. You then knnow that each ul should have a width: 300px; and just set them all to float:left; or display:inline;
#header ul {
width:300px;
}
#header {
display:inline-block;
*display:inline; /* IE hack */
}
EDIT
You could also apply specific CSS styles for psuedo element e.g.:
#header ul:first-child {
width:300px;
position:relative;
top:0;
left:0;
}
#header ul:last-child {
width:300px;
position:relative;
right:0;
left:0;
}
I have retyped your code to fit your needds (well what I assume is your needs)
see fiddle here http://jsfiddle.net/aLQYS/
And for the future, I will recommend you to use classes instead of Id's. Not only you save the ID tag for something more important such as javascript, but you also have the possibility of reusing your css styles by adding multiple classes to one object e.g.
CSS
.shadow {
box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
}
.box {
width:200px;
height:200px;
}
HTML
<div class="shadow box"></div>
I do NOT want a FIXED footer, I need a STICKY footer.
My sticky footer worked fine at first but when the content is at a certain height, there is a margin between the footer and bottom of the page.
Try messing with the browser height and content div height, and you should see where the problem is.
It leaves an awkward margin between the footer and the bottom of the page.
Thank you in advance.

html, body {
height:100%;

Just add position: fixed; to your footer class in your css:
#footer {
background:#000;
border-top:1px solid #00F0FF;
clear:both;
height:30px;
margin-top:-30px;
padding:5px 0;
width:100%;
position: fixed; /*add this new property*/
}
-----UPDATE-----
If you need a footer that stays at the bottom you need two things:
#wrapper {
/*height:100%;*/ /*you need to comment this height*/
margin:0 auto;
min-height:100%;
padding-bottom:-30px;
width:985px;
position: relative; /*and you need to add this */
}
#footer {
background:#000;
border-top:1px solid #00F0FF;
height:30px;
margin-top:-30px;
padding:5px 0;
width:100%;
position: relative; /*use relative position*/
}
#wrapper {
/*height:100%;*/ /*you need to comment this height*/
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100%;
min-height: 700px; /* only for Demo purposes */
padding-bottom: -30px;
width: 985px;
position: relative; /*and you need to add this */
}
#footer {
background: #000;
border-top: 1px solid #00F0FF;
height: 30px;
margin-top: -30px;
padding: 5px 0;
width: 100%;
position: relative; /*use relative position*/
}
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="content">
<span>The footer leaves extra space at the bottom when you scroll all the way down. It starts out at the bottom for only the "Above the Fold" section (before scrolling it's at the bottom).</span>
</div>
<div id="push"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<span>About Us</span>
<span> | </span>
<span>Contact Us</span>
<span> | </span>
<span>Home</span>
</div>
Add position: fixed to the footer class. Note it doesn't work in certain old versions of Internet Explorer. http://jsfiddle.net/kAQyK/
#footer {
background:#000;
border-top:1px solid #00F0FF;
clear:both;
height:30px;
margin-top:-30px;
padding:5px 0;
width:100%;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
left: 0px;
}
See http://tagsoup.com/cookbook/css/fixed/ for examples how to make it also work in IE
I was having the same issue for ages and nothing seemed to work then I realised that the whitespace I was seeing under my footer was not actually whitespace at all but the overflow from my footer with white text on a white background. All I had to do was to add:
overflow:hidden
to my footer in my css.
If anyone wants the solution that worked for me then it is the same as http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/examples/sticky-footer.html but with the added overflow:hidden
DISPLAY TABLE = NO JS and NO fixed height!
Works in modern browsers ( IE 8 + ) - I tested it in several browser and it all seemed to work well.
I discovered this solution because I needed a sticky footer without fixed height and without JS. Code is below.
Explanation: Basically you have a container div with 2 child elements: a wrapper and a footer. Put everything you need on the page ( exept the footer ) in the wrapper. The container is set to display: table; The wrapper is set to display: table-row; If you set the html, body and wrapper to height: 100%, the footer will stick to the bottom.
The footer is set to display: table; as well. This is necessary, to get the margin of child elements. You could also set the footer to display: table-row; This will not allow you to set margin-top on the footer. You need to get creative with more nested elements in that case.
The solution: https://jsfiddle.net/0pzy0Ld1/15/
