footer out of view in Microsoft edge developer tools (Only some devices) - html

I have a footer tag on my site which for some reason is out of view, or partly out of view on a nice amount of mobile devices. (I know this through using my browser's developer tools), it can be pulled in to view, but it doesn't stay in view, it gets pulled down again.
The CSS I implemented might be causing this but I need it in order to have the footer stay at the bottom of the page in all cases. (as explained in this question)
This is basically the code for my footer:
html {
height: 100%;
}
main {
padding-right: 200px;
padding-left: 200px;
background-color: white;
flex: 1 0;
}
body {
background-color: #80cbc4;
min-height: 100vh;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
footer {
text-align: center;
background-color: #d9efef;
height: auto;
flex: 0 0;
}
<html>
<body>
<main>
page content
</main>
<footer>
<p style="direction:rtl;">

</p>
</footer>
</body>
</html>
This problem happens on these devices (as emulated by my browser's developer tools):
Pixel 2/2 XL
Kindle fire HDX (footer can't even be pulled in to view)
iPhone X/6/7/8 Plus
iPad/iPad Mini/iPad Pro
Surface Duo
Blackberry PlayBook
Nexus 6/6P/7/10
Nokia N9
and not other ones (e.g. desktops), which means that the code above probably doesn't show the problem for other users.
Note:
I've been checking all the options in my dev tools, which means I've included in the list above also some uncommon devices.
Also,
Realize that the emulator does not provide the same experience as a person with an actual Pixel 2 XL device would have. They may have the same resolution, but other behaviors may, and probably will, differ. – Heretic Monkey
Which means this might be happening only in my emulator.
This is what the problem looks like:
How can I make my footer come back in to view on all devices?

This should help:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
If not, it's probably just out of view. Style the footer to always be in view, yet still at the very bottom:
footer {
bottom: 0;
}

You need to include the footer in the body tag to make it a part of the flexbox and set the min-height of body to 100vh. 100% will be dependent on the content size where as 100vh will be based on the height of the viewport.
I have created a simple codepen for this illustration. Play around with the number of list items or body tag. This should solve your problem

You have added padding-right and padding-left of 200px in the styling of <main> tag, due to which the content in <main> is overflowing from <body> while the content of <footer> remains inside the <body>. And due to this, you see additional space on the right side of the footer tag for mobile devices.
I have commented padding-right and padding-left from the main tag and now it is responsive. Also, I would suggest using overflow-x: hidden; in if you don't want your website to scroll horizontally.
html {
height: 100%;
}
main {
/* padding-right: 200px;
padding-left: 200px; */
background-color: white;
flex: 1 0;
}
body {
background-color: #80cbc4;
min-height: 100vh;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
/* overflow: hidden; */
}
footer {
text-align: center;
background-color: #d9efef;
height: auto;
flex: 0 0;

The height of the box of your body is actually 100vh + (8px * 2) because most browsers define a margin of 8px on body.
You have to remove this margin margin: 0;
If you want to get the same feeling as before you can add:
padding: 8px; and box-sizing: border-box;.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/box-sizing
Lastly I would advise to use height: 100vh instead of min-height because you want the body itself to take the whole window height. If the height of its content become greater than the body it will be scrollable.
body {
display: flex; /* or display: grid */
flex-direction: column; /* or grid-template-rows: 1fr min-content */
height: 100vh; /* css grids are awesome */
box-sizing: border-box;
padding: 8px;
margin: 0;
background-color: #80cbc4;
}
Edit: After trying it on Edge mobile emulator, I see that there is a scrollbar on x axis which doesn't change the window height, causing it to scroll vertically.
You may want to disable it overflow-x: hidden OR (better solution) make your content width responsive.

you need to include the attribute of position in the CSS like this...
footer {
text-align: center;
background-color: #d9efef;
height: auto;
flex: 0 0;
position: fixed
}

Footer out of screen on iphone

referring to the following question made by me where i was asking on how could i fit the content between the header and the footer by setting content height minus footer height solved the problem but actually when i try to add the web site to Home screen on any iPhone the footer goes out of screen as the following:
As you can see the footer is visible only in part and to see it i have to scroll the whole page down (not the central content but the page) while that problem doesn't persist on web or Android devices..
I've tryed to subtract more pixels to content height if the device is an iphone but it had no effect, i've tryed the following code:
if (navigator.userAgent.match(/iPhone/i)) {
$('.tableFixHead').addClass('tableFixHead-mobile');
}
.tableFixHead-mobile {
max-height: calc(100vh - 500px) !important;
}
But the view remain still the same, the whole css and html code you can see in the following jsfiddle
If I understand your question correctly, the goal is to always have the header and footer fixed and allow the content in the center to scroll. You've accomplished this with absolute positioning and calculations based on viewHeight
The problem is that the implementation of vh is extremely inconsistent on mobile devices. And these problems are unlikely to change any time soon (see this).
So, I would recommend revamping your layout to reduce the dependency on viewHeight. There are multiple ways to do this but flexbox would give you an easy solution.
Here's a minimal example of how to implement this. You'll have to apply it to your code as needed.
.contentWrapper {
/* this needs to fill the viewport
position fixed will work on modern mobile devices. */
position: fixed;
top:0; right:0; bottom:0; left:0;
/* add flex-box */
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
}
header, footer {
background-color: darkgray;
flex-basis: 50px;
padding: 20px;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.mainContentArea {
/* set this to fill the center space */
flex-basis: calc(100% - 100px);
/* make it scroll */
overflow-y: auto;
}
<div class="contentWrapper">
<header>Fixed Header</header>
<div class="mainContentArea">

The above is your code. Just change from position:absolute to position:fixed.
Run the following snippet, if your question was correctly understood then the result is the visual effect you want to achieve. If yes, then check the dimensions of the elements and their position in the code below.

Reading this SO it seems that when setting position: absolute, you must add left: 0 and right: 0 properties to .footer in order that the bottom: 0 will work on iphone and ipad.
Didn't test it myself yet, but it was upvoted so i guess someone else found that useful.
After digging more SO's i found also this that related to this issue.
Worth to mention that caniuseit shows that from version 11 there is full support of absolute position and they not mention any sort of the above..
I guess you will test it before me, hope that will do it.
EDIT: As those SO that i linked above (also) mention, and also following the docs, in order for the position: absolute would work as expected, it parent element should have any position - and that make sens.
Seems that form id="form" is the parent (base on this fiddle), so i would add position: relative; to body itself.
Hope that will work.. Can't test it myself.

How to create a top margin after an auto page break with css?

Here is the description of the feature I really struggle to do.
Mockup
Description
A generated pdf document contains many sections
Some sections can print on many pages
We don't know the size of the content (variable height)
The page must not have margins (the headers are positioned (0,0) and have the same width as the page, documents are printed bordeless)
The content can be anything : paragraphs, titles, images, graphs, svg elements, tables, ...
Objective
When the content of a section auto break on the next page, that page should have a margin equal to the header
Exemple: the section #2 is printed on the pages 2 & 3 ; the page 3 should have a top margin.
Problem
Because the page margins are set to "0", we should define a padding/margin after a natural page break but, I can't find how to make it work nicely (1)
Technical
I'm using RelaxedJS (pdf is generated with Chromium)
Thank you so much in advance if you know how to handle that specific case. I've read so many documentation. The best candidate could be CSS Fragmentation Box Decoration Break Clone but I can't make it work with blocks, only inline elements and paragraphs.
(1) I have tried a solution using table and a thead setting the margin on top of the page... but it's not working when you fill the cells with content. I guess the has serious limitations when using #page rules.
I had to face the same issue a few days ago.
The idea was simple, you have to do this:
Set #page margins (considering the height of the header and footer)
Set header and footer position: fixed and adjust the top and bottom properties.
Control the .page-content with page-break-after to make sure the content go to the next pages.
Notice that I used the DOMPDF Laravel to generate the PDF. May be there are some differences using RelaxedJS but anyway you can try this just in case.
I hope this can help you. Here is the same code in Codepen
#page {
margin: 160px 0px;
padding: 0;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
h2 {
text-align: left;
margin-left: 50px;

position: fixed;
top: -120px;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
}
.page-content {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 60px;
}
.page-content p {
page-break-after: always;
padding: 5px 30px;
}
.page-content p:last-child {
page-break-after: never;
}
footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 50px;
right: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;

border-left: solid black 1px;
}

With this CSS
.Page {
border: 1px solid blue;
}
.Container {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
}
.Content {
border: 1px solid red;
padding: 10px;
max-width: 700px;
min-width: 0;
}
pre {
overflow: auto;
background: #f2f2f2;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
border-radius: 4px;
padding: 20px;
}
Working example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/xdeyrY
When the browser width is >700px, the red Container is centered and the pre code block has an overflow scrollbar. But as soon as you resize the browser < 700px, the pre code block stretches the container to the full 700px and the content gets cut off.
Why is the width of the container not limited by the browser/screen width in this case?
If you remove align-items: center; everything works as expected. If you set white-space: normal on pre, it also works as expected. But neither of those is an option.
The only workaround I came up with is to add this media query:
#media only screen and (max-width: 700px) {
.Container {
align-items: initial;
}
}
This does the trick, but seems a bit like a hack. Is this some flexbox bug/edge case, or am I missing some min-width: 0 trick here? It seems like using flex + align-items:center + max-width + pre just doesn't work well together..
In addition to Michael_B's answer, if you need the flex column direction for i.e. multiple .Content elements, you can also simply set width: 100% on the .Content.
To adjust the width to your padding/border you can either use box-sizing: border-box;, which I did, or CSS Calc (width: calc(100% - 22px);)
Also, for the reason Michael gave, I removed the min-width: 0 as it has no effect

It is indeed a min-width: 0 problem.
It's applied in your code, but the set-up is not quite right.
The min-width and min-height overrides work only in the direction of the main axis.
This means that the min-width: 0 override works only in flex-direction: row.
Similarly, the min-height: 0 fix applies only in flex-direction: column.
Your flex container is flex-direction: column. Your flex item has min-width: 0. Therefore, the override is having no effect.
Switch your container to row-direction. Since you're not applying flex properties to the content of the flex item, the switch won't change anything, except allow your <pre> tag to shrink.
You will also need to switch align-items: center to justify-content: center.

Set margin/padding for each page to print (html/css)?

I've a lot of contents on page which i don't have control of where it breaks. And I've placed some contents using position:fixed on each page as header/footer but it overlap with text. I tried to solve the overlapping using margin and padding in following two ways.
When i added margin using #page
#page {
margin: 2cm;
}
It works on every page as it says, but my header and footer also taken away from margin.
So I tried to adding margin using body tag
body {
margin: 2cm;
/* padding: 2cm; */
}
it work by adding 2cm top margin on first page and 2cm bottom margin on last page. But not in between pages.
Is it possible to set margin/padding each page?
I encountered exactly the same problem and after searching a lot I found an interesting article offering a combinative solution which you can read here.
In short it combines two methods:
Using position: fixed technique
Using thead tbody tfoot
If you only use the first method you will face the overlapping issue, in the same way if you only use the second method, footer will stick to the bottom of the content of page which might ended in the beginng of the last page, but combination of both methods resolves the problem.
.page-header, .page-header-space {
height: 100px;
}
.page-footer, .page-footer-space {
height: 50px;
}
.page-footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
border-top: 1px solid black; /* for demo */
background: yellow; /* for demo */
}
.page-footer:after {
counter-increment: page;
content: counter(page)
}
.page-header {
position: fixed;
top: 0mm;
width: 100%;
border-bottom: 1px solid black; /* for demo */
background: yellow; /* for demo */
}
.page {
page-break-after: always;
}
#page {
margin: 20mm
}
#media print {
thead {display: table-header-group;}
tfoot {display: table-footer-group;}
button {display: none;}
body {margin: 0;}

Here you can see a working demo.
To make sure this solution works properly, try to print it by pressing Print Me! button.
You might even need to have page number in the footer, it's done by CSS too, you only need to add following CSS:
.page-footer:after {
counter-increment: page;
content: counter(page)
}
In some articles it's content: counter(page) " of " counter(pages);, but in my case pages returns 0 all the time for no reason, so I ignored it, maybe you can achieve the count of total pages by using CSS var().
For the record if you'd like not to observe the header and footer before printing you can add following CSS:
#media screen {
.header, .footer {
display: none;
}
}
Update 2020:
It seems page number doesn't work anymore.
Your first option was correct, what you need to do is just position your header and footer as running.
#page {
margin: 2cm;
#top-center {
content: element(pageHeader);
}
#bottom-center {
content: element(pageFooter);
}
}
#pageHeader{
position: running(pageHeader);
}
#pageFooter{
position: running(pageFooter);
}
#page {
padding: 2cm;
margin: 3cm;
}
Try this...
Be sure to have a stylesheet assigned for printing.
It could be a separate stylesheet or you can use bootstrap stylesheet:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="print.css">
or
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap.min.css"> # Note there's no media attribute
Then, you can write your styles for printers in the separate stylesheet or in the shared one using media queries as:
#media print {
/* Your styles here */
}

Position a fixed div below another fixed div with variable height without using jquery

I have a fixed top div with variable height. All I need is to push the bottom contents below the fixed div to re-position itself as the height of the fixed div changes in various pages.
P.S. I'm currently doing it with jquery but it takes some rendering time and shows broken contents until the page loads completely as it is added at the end of body tag. I want to load jquery and other scripts at the very end so trying to find a way to do this completely with CSS if possible for getting rid of those rendering effects.
Following is a demo code which needs to work with CSS only -
.container {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.top {
position: fixed;
height: auto;
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
color: white;
top: 0;
}
.bottom {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
<div class="top">
This is a fixed div with variable height and the bottom content are supposed to pushed and stayed below as the height increases.
</div>
<div class="bottom">

try this
.bottom {

width: 100%;
margin-top: 1cm;
}
I have updated the fiddle and its working:https://jsfiddle.net/m0615z32/1/
Below is a pure javascript code that will work for you. Please check
What i have done is set the padding-top of below container to be equal to height of top container without using jquery.
document.getElementById("bottom-div").style.paddingTop = document.getElementById("top-div").clientHeight+"px";
OR
If You can change your top container to be relative than fixed, then also this works but is not keeping the div fixed on top
.top {
position: relative;
height: auto;
width: 100%;
background-color: black;
color: white;
top: 0;
}
Now the top content will always be on top. It will adjust according to content and below container will start after top ends.
