The site in question is 1000freewebsites.com. The specific pages I'm struggling with are:
1000freewebsites.com/signup.php
1000freewebsites.com/login.php
This site uses the skeleton framework and Ryan Fait's sticky footer. On these pages I have a div with the ID of #bluestripe that should fill the vertical space between the header and the footer.
There are three parent elements; #html, #body and .wrapper. All are set to height:100%; in the stylesheet. #bluestripe is also set to height:100% and min-height:100%. As I understand it, this should achieve the effect I desire. Do I have my theory wrong?
Using Chrome Inspector I find that the height attribute is crossed out for .wrapper. If my theory is correct, this explains why #bluestripe is not expanding to fill the vertical space.
I cannot find any element that over rides .wrapper's height setting. Can you see what I am missing?
Your CSS rule for .wrapper has 2 height declarations. Get rid of the one setting height to auto.
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important; /* <- Get rid of this one */
margin: 0 auto -40px;
height: 100%;
}
this is your css:
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important; //height here
margin: 0 auto -40px;
height: 100% ;//height again here
}
you are defining two times the height and as the first one got !important its overriding the second one
this cause another error, because the paddings and the other elements are pushing the .container div down, so if you change a few properties you can get rid of this behavior:
#bluestripe {
background: #0099cc;
width: 100%;
padding: 40px 0px 40px 0px;
border-top: 10px solid #666666;
/*height: 100%; drop this line*/
}
.wrapper {
background: #0099cc; /*add this line*/
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -40px;
height: auto; /*acording to ryanfaits's css this is what mades the footer stick to the botom*/
}
this will made the .bluestripe shrink again but as the .wrapper still has the same background color, it doesn´t matters

I want to make a div (my sidebar) stretch to the bottom of the page. I know that I need to add "height: 100%;" in order to do that.
But when I add height: 100%;, pages that have less content than the sidebar cuts the sidebar's height and then you can't see the sidebar content.
This is the index page . Everything looks exactly the way I want it to.
This is a sample page . Notice that the sidebar has been cut.
CSS:
#menu-container {
background-image: url('floral.png');
width: 300px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
}
#menu {
background-image: url('menubg.png');
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-left: 30px;
padding-right: 20px;
color: #e8e8e8;
height: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
width: 1000px;
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: top;
}
Thanks in advance!

The changed CSS fixed my second problem but now I'm back to the cut off sidebar on shorter pages: See here: http://www.tarawilder.com/staging/?page_id=19
I'm leaving my house now, I'll be able to respond later tonight. Thanks again for your help!
#container {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
position: absolute;
width: 900px;
}
try this..it will give you the result you want..though there are many other mistakes in your html markup
some other areas where you need to be careful...
your container's width is 900px..which contains side menu and the large text...combined width of your side menu and the large text is far greater than your 900px width of your container..as you are not using overflow:hidden; you cant see the effect...why dont you apply overflow:auto; width:100% or something like that
BETTER CSS::
#container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
}
ACCORDING TO YOUR NEW PROBLEM :: now your body height must be more than 100% now..thats why after 100% height your side menu becomes invisible
CHANGED CSS ::
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
}
your third problem ::
strange...you are now using width:100% for your cantainer..and your container contains side menu and large text...and side menu has width of 300px and then your having width of 1000px for large text..so naturally the overflowed part ot the text gets invisible; and also remove position:absolute; from container
now your css
#container {
height: auto;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
}
#content {
padding: 0px 0px 30px 325px;
vertical-align: top;
}
NOTE:: don't delete your edited part of your question..you have already deleted the 2nd edit you made to your question earlier...it will create difficulties for future users to relate the answer with question
Make sure that your parent containers (#container, body, html) are height:100%; as well.
Personally, I would do something like this(if the rest of the site layout allows it):
Instead of creating separate backgrounds for #menu, #menu-caontainer and body i would create background on body something like this: http://cl.ly/image/3L060f2w3Z0s
that would repeat vertically on y axis, so no matter how high the body is the background would stretch/repeat to the bottom.
Website in question: http://www.flowersbe.com
So I am not having an issue getting the footer to stick to the bottom, my issue is that I have a top margin on my container that pushes the footer down 25px past the bottom of the browser, which is most evident on the contact page of the above site. I want to keep the 25px space at the top but I still want the footer to be fully visible...below is my css for the container and the footer...any ideas on how I can resolve this issue?
html,
body {
height: 100%;
}
#container {
width: 960px;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 25px auto -50px;
background-color: #fff;
}
footer {
clear: both;
width: 960px;
height: 35px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 15px 0 0 0;
background-color: #ffebeb;
text-align: center;
}
.push {
height: 50px;
}
I believe that to achieve exactly what you want to do, you would have to introduce some JavaScript to calculate the exact height that #container should be.
It is translating the height of 100% to the exact height of the viewport, then adding the 25px margin on top of that. The only way I can think of to get around that is to use JavaScript to get the height of the viewport and set the height of #container to that value minus 25px.
Possible alternate solutions that don't involve JS:
Just drop the min-height and allow #container to be only as tall as it needs to be.
Use position: fixed on the footer to ensure that the footer is always at the bottom of the viewport, but note that it would sit on top of any content long enough to go beyond the height of the viewport.
Does that give you enough to go on?
I have a pretty annoying issue here. I am using a sticky footer i found on the web, which works perfectly, however I have some big images in the main content area which is overlapping the footer.
Any ideas? Link to live example - Click on interface to view
On your #wrapper you have a negative margin. take that out and it looks just fine
#wrapper {
width: 90%;
padding: 10px;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto; /** Removed the negative bottom margin **/
overflow: hidden;
background: white;
overflow: hidden;
}
Your div #wrapper should have a padding-bottom equal to the height of the #footer, which in your case appears to be 96px. Surely the "sticky footer [you] found on the web" should have mentioned that!
Fiddle
I would like to have multiple divs with margins and below them one that fills up the rest of the space provided by the fixed size parent div.
EDIT: I am sorry, I should have mentioned that the container divs size is fixed and should not change at all.
EDIT2: SOLUTION.
I had tried overflow: hidden but missunderstood it and put it on on the child element and not the parent.
Hope this is you want http://jsfiddle.net/FR5Ud/33/
Use min-height so that your basic look of the page remains the same and it increases based on the content
#container {
float: left;
background-color: green;
width: 300px;
min-height: 300px; height
border-color: violet;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 10px;
}
#content {
background-color: blue;
min-height: 100px; height:auto
}
#toFillUp {
background-color: red;
/* that's what it should end up looking like.
However, what if the size of #content changes?
What if there are more content divs before that?
What if those have margins? */
min-height: 200px; height:auto
}

I know there are a lot of questions about a css 100% height problem.
However I've tried to follow the instructions there and still the height isn't 100%,
so I thought I'd ask the question again.
The site where you can see the problem is:
www.exendo.be
some css styles:
html {
height: auto !important;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 0;
}
body {
background: url("/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bg.png") repeat-x scroll 0 100px #F2F7E8;
height: auto !important;
margin: 0;
min-height: 100%;
padding: 0;
width: 100%;
}
wrapper {
height: auto !important;
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
footer-container {
background: url("/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/exendo-footer_bg.png") no-repeat scroll center bottom #557F40;
height:146px;
}
As you can see on the site, the footer is too high on the page.
If I inspect the page with Firebug, I can see that the html is 100% height, but the body tag isn't.
The problem both occurs on Firefox and IE.
If anybody could help that would be great!
A number of people suggested position:absolute; bottom:0;
This can cause an issue if the content is taller than the container. The height will not increase so the content will no longer fit and can get cut off or result in ugly scroll bars.
If you can give a fixed height to the container, this is ideal since the height:100% will then work on the child element. In case the content is too large, you can put a background on the child with overflow:visible on the parent, so the content still displays. This helps, but it can still break unless the child is the same width as the parent.
If that doesn't work, I recommend using min-height in em or pixels. This will make sure the height fills the parent, and expands if the content is too long. This worked best for customer comments on www.baka.ca
I think this article can help you.
According to this article:
Assign "position:relative" to your "container" div - page, page-container, or wrapper (I'm not sure to which one of the three, just try), and then "position:absolute; bottom:0;" to your "footer-container" div.
I hope that helps you.
#denappel; give html & body 100% height put footer outside of your main div wrapper & give margin-bottom in minus according to the height of footer.
css:
.wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 700px;
font-size: 0.9em;
margin: 0 auto -142px;
background:yellow;
}
.header {
height: 190px;
background:green;
}
.footer {
position: relative;
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background:red;
}
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -142px;
.footer, .push {
height: 142px;
}
