I have changed the footer's background color to yellow but the code just is not working.
I have been working on this for past 2 hours. Please don't bash me out!
Just help. Thanks.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#footerMain{
min-width: 1000px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.footerLeft{
position: absolute;
height: 20px;
width: 80px;
}
.footerRight{
position: absolute;
margin-left: 800px;
height: 20px;
width: 80px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<footer id="footerMain">
<div class="footerLeft">
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
<div class="footerRight">
<h1>Bye</h1>
</div>
</footer>
</body>
try this , HTML
<footer id="footerMain" class="clearfix">
<div class="footerLeft">
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
<div class="footerRight">
<h1>Bye</h1>
</div>
</footer>
CSS:
.clearix{
zoom:1;
}
.clearfix:after, .clearfix:before{
line-height: 0;
content: '';
display: table;
}
.clearfix:after{
clear:both;
}
#footerMain{
background-color:yellow;
}
div.footerLeft{
width:50%;
float:left;
}
div.footerRight{
width:50%;
float:right;
}
Because you are using position absolute; so basically #footerMain has no height, but still, you better not use position absoute, more robust way would be floating property
#footerMain{
min-width: 1000px;
background: yellow;
height: 100px; /* add height & add more height, because h1 has margin */
}
.footerLeft{
float: left; /*remove position: absolute;*/
height: 20px;
width: 80px;
}
.footerRight{
float: right; /*remove position: absolute;*/
height: 20px;
width: 80px;
}
<footer id="footerMain">
<div class="footerLeft">
<h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
<div class="footerRight">
<h1>Bye</h1>
</div>
</footer>
Your #footerMain element contains only absolute-positioned elements. Therefore, it is considered empty as far as layout goes. Consequently, its height is zero, making it invisible.
Add some height to it - probably 20px to match the height of the elements.
Add a height rule to footerMain like 40px
I am trying to make 3 div's in row design. Where the header and footer have fixed height.
The center div expands to fill the empty space. I have tried but the closest I got is the code below. Still having problems with the center div which expands over the footer div.
html:
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
</div>
css:
#rowOne {
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
background: green;
}
#rowTwo {
width: 100%;
background: limegreen;
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
#rowThree {
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
clear: both;
background: green;
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
left:0;
height:50px;
}
#container {
height: 100%;
}
Three Row pure CSS
I know this post is getting on a bit, but despite claims to the contrary, you can do this very simply with CSS. No need for JavaScript, jQuery, CSS 3 hacks etc.
Here's a couple of jsf's that show fixed header and footer and dynamic body div.
This first one shows fixed pixel height header and footer and dynamic body EXACTLY as you wanted in your image
http://jsfiddle.net/LBQ7K/
<body>
<div class="header"><p>Header</p></div>
<div class="cssBody"><p>Hello World</p></div>
<div class="footer"><p>Footer</p></div>
</body>
html, body, {
height: 100%;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #00f;
}
.cssBody {
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
bottom: 50px;
width: 100%;
background: #0f0;
}
The second shows you can use the same technique to have dynamic headers & footers.
http://jsfiddle.net/reqXJ/
<body>
<div class="header"><p>Header</p></div>
<div class="cssBody"><p>Hello World</p></div>
<div class="footer"><p>Footer</p></div>
</body>
html, body, {
height: 100%;
}
.header {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
height: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #00f;
}
.cssBody {
position: absolute;
top: 15%;
bottom: 15%;
width: 100%;
background: #0f0;
}
This is a very common problem, one of the solutions that worked for me is from the following website:
http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
with the code:

and another popular choice:

Seems like you are try to do a sticky footer, well... you will need a few hacks:
HTML:
<div id='container'>
<div class="header">
<h1>Sticky Footer!</h1>
</div>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
<div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div id='footer'></div>
CSS
.container {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;height: 100%;
/* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
margin: 0 auto -142px;
}
.footer, .push{
height: 142px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}
Note: Replace the footer and push height for your fixed height and don't forget to insert the push div after the rows in the container.
You can fake this by absolutely positioning the rows, and adding padding to top and bottom for the middle row. You cannot do this like you were doing with tables
#container { position:relative; height:800px } // needs height
#rowOne, #rowTwo, #rowThree { position:absolute }
#rowOne { top:0; left:0 }
#rowThree { bottom:0; left:0 }
#rowTwo { left:0; top:0; padding:50px 0; } // top and bottom padding 50px
could this line of code help?
DEMO
Try this:
#container{
...
position:relative;
}
#content{
min-height: xxx;
}
This should exactly do what you want:
html code:
<div id="header">
header
</div>
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>one</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>two</div>
<div id='rowThree'>three</div>
</div>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
<div id="footer">
footer
</div>
CSS code:
.clearfix {
clear: both;
}
#header, #footer {
background-color: red;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
}
#rowOne {
width: 25%;
background: green;
float: left;
}
#rowTwo {
width: 55%;
height: 100px;
background: limegreen;
float: left;
}
#rowThree {
width: 20%;
background: green;
float: left;
}

Have you tried looking at a CSS framework? They come with default classes you can use to set up something like that within a few short minutes. They also help producing cleaner html and interfaces that you can easily redesign at a later time.

In response to your comment on jedrus07's answer:
all this sollutions expand the center div behind the footer div. I want a solution with each div having only his own space.
The only way to do that is with CSS 3 calc(). If you don't need to support very many browsers, that's an option, and here's a demo of it in action:
http://jsfiddle.net/5QGgZ/3/
(Use Chrome or Safari.)
HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='rowOne'>row 1</div>
<div id='rowTwo'>row 2</div>
<div id='rowThree'>row 3</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
html, body, #container {
height: 100%;
}
#rowOne {
height: 50px;
background: #f00;
}
#rowTwo {
height: -webkit-calc(100% - 100px);
background: #0f0;
}
#rowThree {
height: 50px;
background: #00f;
}
If you want wider browser support, you're going to have to go with a sticky footer solution like the ones jedrus07 mentioned, or Tom Sarduy's answer.
One way would be using Jquery to set the minimum height of the middle div to be the height of the screen, minus the height of the other two divs (100px)
something like this should work:
$(document).ready(function() {
var screenHeight = $(document).height() - 100px;
$('#rowTwo').css('min-height' , screenHeight);
});
I seem to be having a problem with my footer growing to 100% width of the page. Currently when it expands there is a gap on each side of the footer. I tried putting the footer outside the the wrapper and inside and pretty much get the same results. I've attached my code to see if anyone can spot what im doing wrong.
<div id="wrapper"> <!--Begin Wrapper -->
<div id="riaandoviwrap">
<div id="riaandovi">Ria And Ovi</div>

<div id="slideswrap">

Set padding and margin to zero for the body tag. Althought you're not setting one manually, browsers do have a default padding/margin.
Include a reset sheet in your document to reset all of those default styles. Recommend Eric Meyer's since its more complete:

I am looking to create a vertically scrolling website. I'll have a set of 5 divs that I want to have a height of 100% that are stacked on one another, basically making the body 1500% in height. Yeah?
Here is my code so far:
CSS
#contentWrapper {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
height: 1500%;
margin: 0 auto;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.panel {
position: relative;
height: 6.66%;
border: 1px solid blue;
}
.panelGuts {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
height: 600px;
margin: -300px 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid green;
}
HTML:
<div id="contentWrapper">
<div class="panel">
<div class="panelGuts">
content
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel">
<div class="panelGuts">
content
</div>
</div>
<div class="panel">
<div class="panelGuts">
content
</div>
</div>
</div>
This seems to work in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome but it doesn't work on an iPad or iPhone, and knowing how IE like's to behave, it probably won't work there either.
What I am wanting to know is 1) Why is won't work on an iPad/iPhone, 2) is there a better way to do this, maybe with jQuery?
I need each panel to have a height of 100% and have the content (panelGuts) be vertically centered. I'll be using jQuery ScrollTo (or some scrollTo plugin) to scroll to each div. I'd like to NOT have to set a specific height to each div...
Can anyone help?
I actually figured this out with HTML5. It was pretty simple. For anyone who wants to see my results
CSS
body, html {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
background: #FFF;
height: 100%;
}
#contentWrapper {
position: relative;
width: 600px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.panelContainer { display: inline; }
.panel {
position: relative;
display: table;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background:green;
}
article.panel:nth-child(2n+2) {
background:blue;
}
.panelGuts {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
width: 100%;
height: 600px;
margin: -300px 0 0 0;
border: 1px solid black;
}
And my HTML
<div id="contentWrapper">
<section class="panelContainer">
<article class="panel">
<div class="panelGuts">
text 1
</div>
</article>
<article class="panel">
<div class="panelGuts">
text 2
</div>
</article>
</section>
</div>
And a Fiddle for you: http://jsfiddle.net/ryanjay/dwspJ/
Again me with my divs =(.
I have this:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="body">
<div id="..."></div>
<div id="..."></div>
<div id="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
and css:
#body { width: 100%; margin 0 auto; }
#content { position: absolute; height: 200px; width: 100%; }
#footer { height: 63px; clear:both; }
Now result:
content div with much text and footer under text.
How can I make my footer under all content-area?
I've encountered this situation several times. I've been using sticky footers. It's widely compatible with several browsers and just seems to work.
If you use this styling you will see the (blue) #footer under the (red) #content as you requested:
#body {width: 600px; margin 0 auto; }
#content {position: relative; height: 200px; width: 600px; background-color: red; }
#footer {height: 63px; clear:both; width: 600px; background-color: blue; }
