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've been looking around for a while today and can't find a question that answers my specific problem.
I am designing my website and the content is in the center placed inside a div, which is the wrapper. My problem is that even though the height is set at 100%, if I add to much content, the wrapper does no stretch with the content, so the text ends up being placed outside the wrapper; it is still centered with it.
How can I fix this? The CSS I have is:
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
width: 800px;
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: 0px;
margin-left: -400px;
background-color: #F7F7F7;
border-radius: 5px;
}
Change
#wrapper{height:100%;}
to
#wrapper{height:auto;}
Fiddle here.
You could also take off the Height Property, if you need to have a minimum height of 100% before the wrapper div begins to enlarge as respective to its content. so it will be:
#wrapper{
min-height: 100%
}
not:
#wrapper{
height:100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
I've spent 2 days trying to sort this out and I can't. I'd appreciate any help.
I have a container set to fill 100% vertically, which it does just fine. In the container I have another div for my header. Underneath the header, I want another div to also fill vertically 100% (from the bottom of the header to the bottom of the screen) regardless of how little content there is. The problem is, when I set the height for this div at 100%, it overflows past the bottom of the browser window, even if there is no other content in it. Just a long blank space. The overflow is the same size as my header.
If I remove my header, it works fine. And if I tell this div to not be 100%, then it will only go as deep as the content forces it, which won't be enough in some cases. I tried using overflow: hidden, but then that hides the shadow effect I have on the div.

And the code in question is here:
#container {
height: 100%;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-bottom: -80px;
}
#bodybox {
height: 100%;
width: 960px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: -80px;
background-color: #FFF;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 5px 20px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 5px 20px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
box-shadow: 0px 5px 20px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.75);
}
You'll notice my footer is hovering over the bottom. That's because of the overflow. I'm using this sticky footer solution in case that's important.
I'm a bit of a novice at CSS and I really want to avoid excessive Photoshop usage or tables, but I can't seem to get any tip or suggestion I've read to fix this. Please help. Thanx.
try
#bodybox{
height: calc(100% - 142px);
...
where 142px is the height of the header. Calc calculates the height according to the arithmetic in the parentheses. Note the equation will not more without the spaces before and after the operator. The same equation can be used to counter the effect of margins too.
If you set an element to have a relative height/width (with percentages), the height/width will be relative to it's direct parent (if some exceptions do not apply, I will not explain them here). But that doesn't take positioning into account. So your content div has exactly the height you asked it to be, but because it is pushed down by the header it appears to be taller.
You could use calc to calculate the height you want, or use the oldschool push back method.
You start with building the container, header and content div:
<div class="conatiner">
<div class="header"></div>
<div class="content"><h1>My Content</h1></div>
</div>
And apply some styles:
.container { width: 300px; height: 100%; } /* height can be anything */
.header { width: 100%; height: 100px; } /* header SHOULD have a fixed height */
.content { width: 100%; height: 100%; }
And to push back you add to the styles of the .content div: margin-top: -100px;, where the 100px should be the same height as the header. With the minus in front you tell the browser to pull it back instead of push it down.
Now you have two more problems to solve. The first one is that the content div covers the header div. You can fix that with applying z-index, although that requires you to add position too (as z-index only applies to positioned elements). So add those two rules to both header and content:
z-index: 1/0; /* header has z-index: 0, content has z-index: 1 */
position: relative; /* to 'activate' z-index 'behavior' */
Now we're almost there, but as you might see the content also disappears behind the header. To fix this, add a padding to the content div:
.content { padding-top: 100px; } /* again the 100px should be the same as the header height */
And now don't despair if you see the content div pushed down again. That is because the padding adds up to the height. Luckily my great friend box-sizing helps us out!
.content { box-sizing: border-box; -moz-box-sizing: border-box; }
And here we are (fiddle)!
Note: there are some other strategies, like, absolute positioning of the content div and/or header, using the calc functions, and others. Choose what suits you best.
Quick fix:
#header_bkgd {
overflow: hidden;
}
I'm guessing its to do with the fact that they both have a margin-bottom of 80px? one is taking off the other forcing it to overflow.
Do this:
CSS:
#bodybox{
margin-bottom: -80px; //Remove
// rest of the css
}
#container {
margin: 0
}

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 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!
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;
}
