This is the page I am working on right now: http://jsfiddle.net/0xsven/hycRx/
I want the page to expand vertically to fill the whole screen so that the footer is always at the very bottom. I am not searching for a sticky footer! I want the page to expand to the bottom like in this picture.
Any idea if this is possible?
Update
I used some confusing words so I am trying to clarify my question:
I want my page to always fill out the viewport vertically, even if there is not enough content. As soon as there is enough content to even extend the viewport the page should be scrollable. In my tests a sticky footer always stays at the bottom of the viewport covering other elements, which I don't want to happen.
One solution I came up with is manipulating/resizing the paddings/margins with jquery so it fits the viewport. But I dislike using javascript for such things.
You can experiment with the position attribute, like this:
#footer{
background-color: #222;
position: relative;
bottom: 0;
}
#footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
The behaviour you're trying to emulate is that of the conventional CSS Sticky Footer.
Here's a simple example:
HTML
<div id="wrap">
<div id="main">
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
CSS
html, body {height: 100%;}
#wrap {min-height: 100%; *display:table; *height:100%}
#main {overflow:auto; padding-bottom: 150px;} /* must be same height as the footer */
#footer {
position: relative;
margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */
height: 150px;
clear:both;
}
/*Opera Fix*/
body:before {
content:"";
height:100%;
float:left;
width:0;
margin-top:-32767px;/
}

I have created simple webpage using html5 and css.
I have created sticky footer with 4 columns and each column have vertical navigation menu.
Here is my code:
<footer>
<div id="footer">
<div class="footer-column" id="footer_column1">
Home
</div>
<div class="footer-column" id="footer_column2">
about us
</div>
<div class="footer-column" id="footer_column3">
contact us
</div>
<div class="footer-column" id="footer_column4">
Blogs
</div>
</div>
</footer>
and this is for css:
#footer {
position:absolute;
clear:both;
bottom:0;
color:#000;
width:100%;
height: 50px;
background:#fff;
left:0;
}
.footer-column {
float: left; /* Push the div as far up-left as it can be put */
width: 25%; /* Make sure to subtract the padding */
padding: 10px; /* We want padding on all sides to make things look nice */
text-align:center;
}
Now page looks like : s22.postimg.org/l0l6y85o1/Untitled_1_copy.png
If i increase the height of footer, it will be hidden background of slideshow.
Can anyone help me, how to fix this. Thanks in advance.
You have given absolute positioning to footer so it will stay there, now your page is basically overlapping it. You should use relative layout for your page.
I would suggest you to use bootstrap for this. Here is a simple example or this.
Regarding z-index - If you will give higher z-index to your footer say 999999 then it will be on top (higher than other elements on page).
Z-index will not actually help you with positioning. Always something will be hidden. If you want your footer to be right at bottom of the page then do not use absolute positioning and it will be pushed down.
Try:
html {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
/* Margin bottom by footer height */
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
/* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
height: 100px;
}
I want to use three <div> areas on my web page: Header, Content and Footer.
The Footer <div> is supposed to stick to the bottom of the web page.
The Header <div> is supposed to stick to the top of the page.
The Content <div> is supposed to fill the whole area in the middle of the page.
So this is the basic layout:
<body>
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</body>
For the Footer to stay down the page I added
#footer
{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
For the Content <div> I'm using a background image, scaling exactly to the div element's dimensions:
#content
{
background: url("Bilder/Bild.png") center contain no-repeat black;
}
Now I want the Content <div> to be exactly the remaining height of the ViewPort between Header and Footer without adding any JavaScript, no matter what content is later added to the Content <div>.
How can I do that in CSS3?
If the size of footer and header is known, you can use calc(). So assuming both take 100px together, this should work:
html, body { height: 100%; }
#content {
height: calc( 100% - 100px );
}
Be aware, though, that old browsers do not support this. Also have a look at the compatibility table for the prefixes that might be needed.
Example Fiddle
you could use something like this. it will allow you to keep your positions in a range of resolutions.
#header {
position: fixed;
height: 10%;
}
#content {
position: fixed;
height: 80%;
top: 10%;
}
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;
height: 10%;
}

I'm trying to align a html-page with the bottom of the browser-window. This is my apporach:
<body>
<div class="outer-wrapper">
</div>
</body>
.outer-wrapper{
min-height: 950px;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
The problem with this solution is that when the screen is smaller than 950px high, the top of the outer-wrapper disapears above the screen and no scroll is added. Both the body and the outer-wrapper has a background-image.
Here is a sample, as you can see, the top of the red box is above the body.
http://jsfiddle.net/C5Nce/1/
The following demo should work, if I understand what you want correctly:
http://jsfiddle.net/C5Nce/10/show/
I just used a media query to detect when the page is less than 550px and set the element to be pinned to the top instead:
#media screen and (max-height: 550px) {
.outer_wrapper {
top: 0;
}
}
I've coloured it green so you can tell when the query fires.
.outer {
position:absolute;
height:100%;
width:100%;
background-color:#aaaaaa;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
.content {
position:relative;
width:90%;
height:90%;
background-color:#444444;
margin:5%;
}
.inner {
position:absolute;
height:20%;
width:100%;
background-color:#eeeeee;
bottom:0;
margin-bottom:10%;
}
<div class="outer">
<div class="content">
<div class="inner"></div>
</div>
</div>
http://jsfiddle.net/L8H9J/
1) Remove the margin-bottom style from the inner class
2) All the content you add inside the inner class will be aligned with the bottom
3) Because of the flow of the document in HTML, you cannot explicitly align them with the
bottom
4) You can use this trick to do so, but again all elements inside the inner class will be
with flow of position:static
5) There comes the use of JavaScript to determine suitable margins for each element inside
the inner class
Tip: Use percentages; although you want the wrapper to be of height ~950px, but if you can use percentages for the dimensions, you would really love watching your web applications scale with the browsers:
I would just give your outer-wrapper a height of 100% (along with html, body):
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
.outer-wrapper {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
overflow-y: auto;
background-position:bottom; //Edit
}
Then the outer-wrapper will always keep the body's height. There’s no need for the 950px height min because in the case that the viewport is too small you wanted for this to scroll and in the other case the viewport is bigger than 950px - well, it's bigger than 950px - that's a good thing.
Edit section from your code here
.outer_wrapper
{
background-color:red;
/*min-height: 550px;*/
margin-left: -75px;
top:auto;
bottom: 0;
position: absolute;
left:50%;
}
and you are specifying your red box is above the body, if you put it inside body it supposed to be placed like it as you also have specify min-height of container.
I'm looking for a way to add a footer to my page which will always show up at the bottom. The problem is, a lot of the content on the page is set via position: absolute;, so at the moment, unless I manually give the footer a margin-top: 900px; value, its simply hidden by one of the absolute positioned content. But on some pages where the content is less than 900px, there is an unnecessary gap at the bottom between the end of the page, and the footer.
How can I resolve this in such a way that there's no gap between the end of content and footer?
In the new jquery, you can just use this:
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
<h1>Fixed Footer!</h1>
</div>
from http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/toolbars/bars-fixed.html
Put everything before the footer in a div with position relative. This div will flex vertically to the content in it and will provide the buffer to keep anything after it right below it. No margin needed.
You also can put indexes.
z-index: 1;
http://www.fiveminuteargument.com/fixed-position-z-index
In your case, put z-index in css for footer at 10 or more.
Let's suppose a <footer>, styled with display: block and height: 250px.
So all you have to do to achieve what you want is add:
position: fixed;
top: 100%;
margin-top: -250px;
That's it. It'll be permanently aligned at the bottom. :)

After doing some fiddling I was reminded that absolute positioning removes the element from the document flow. You cannot depend on an absolute positioned element to affect the other elements because it will not. Because you do not know the height of the content then using margin-top is clearly not option.
So I came up with this: basically do a normal layout with floats then use position relative to move the items where you want them. This way the elements still affect the document flow, however, now you have total control over the position. This is precisely what relative positioning is for: You want total control over the position of an element but you still want they element to affect the layout normally.

I have a site that has the following structure:
<div id="page_wrapper">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content-wrapper"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
Now I have set html, body and page_wrapper to 100% in CSS. The goal here is to get the footer to be at either the bottom of the content or the bottom of the window -- whichever is visually lower. I've read a lot of things about how to do it, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly.
html, body, #page_wrapper { height: 100%; }
#page_wrapper {
width: 864px;
margin: 0 auto;
min-height: 100%;
background: url('path/to/image') repeat-y;
}
#content-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 824px;
min-height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#footer, #header {width: 824px; margin: 0 auto; }
#footer {
border-top: 4px solid #000;
position: relative;
margin-top: -7.5em;
}
It sorta seems to work. But problem I am seeing is, that if I zoom out my page_wrapper seems to almost reset its height to 100% but as I zoom in, it gets shorter and shorter and shorter causing overlap in the footer and content text instead of pushing the footer down.
Any idea how to repair something like that? I'm at my wits end with it trying to google up an answer...
Updated my answer with a test html, works quite fine in chrome 13. I tried zooming in and out and the footer stays put.
You should put your footer outside of the page-wrapper. Then give it a negative margin equal to the height of the footer. You can change the height of either the header or the content-wrapper to see the footer stick to the bottom of the page-wrapper instead of the browser window. If you open the html as is you will see the blue footer sticking to the bottom of the page and the page-wrapper taking up 100% of the window.
Please note that this is broken without a fix in Firefox 4 and 5. Also it doesnt work in IE 5.5 and earlier.
To make this work properly in IE6 add height: 100%; to #page_wrapper
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body, html {height: 100%;margin:0;padding:0;}
#page_wrapper {min-height: 100%; background-color: red;}
#header{height: 200px; background-color: green;}
#content-wrapper{height: 200px; background-color: yellow;}
#footer {height: 7.5em;margin-top: -7.5em; background-color: blue; position:relative;}
</style>

Does this help:
css sticky footer in an asp.net page
absolute position the footer div...
In #footer css try adding clear:both;
or
add in footer CSS right after position: relative; bottom:5px;
With position: relative you can actually use, top, right, bottom and left.
If you always want it at bottom you can put in as bottom:5px; If you want it at the bottom center then you can put in bottom: 5px; and right or left ...
5px above is just an example you can change pixel to as many as you want.
Furthermore, you can also have clear:both with it there as that clear make sure there is no other content that would override it.
