Sticky footer pattern working in Chrome but not Firefox - html

The sticky footer pattern ensures that the footer sticks to the bottom of the viewport unless the non-footer content is tall enough in which case it is pushed below the bottom of the viewport.
The following application of this pattern works for Chrome and Opera but not Firefox. Am I missing anything?
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#non-footer {
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-bottom: 150px; /* 100px + 50px (#footer::height + #footer::margin-top) */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
margin: 50px 0 0 0 ;
height: 100px;
background: brown;
}
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='non-footer'>

Surprisingly, even though it works from Chrome (when I place the HTML in a file) it's not displayed properly in the Stack Overflow's HTML pen facility in full page mode — even though I'm still using Chrome. What is observed instead is that the footer rises from the bottom of the viewport. This is the exact same failure mode that is observed under Firefox.

You might want to look into the vh unit coupled with display: flex...
html,body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container {
min-height: 100vh; /* make the container at least the height of the viewport */
display: flex; /* use flexbox */
flex-direction: column; /* use a vertical flex layout */
}
.content {
flex-grow: 1; /* expand to fill remaining container height */
background-color: #e9e9e9;
}
.footer {
background-color: #ccc;
height: 100px;
}

Pointers: Sticky Footer - CSS Tricks

Based on this answer I ended up adding the following mozilla-specific fix:
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 95%;
}
}
95% is necessary as if 100% is specified, then the bottom of the footer gets cropped in Firefox (no idea why).
#-moz-document url-prefix() {
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
height: 95%;
}
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#non-footer {
padding-left: 1em;
padding-right: 1em;
padding-bottom: 150px; /* 100px + 50px (#footer::height + #footer::margin-top) */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;

margin: 50px 0 0 0 ;
height: 100px;

This works in Firefox as well but not as a Stack Overflow HTML/CSS snippet (when in full screen mode).

Scrollbars not functioning correctly when centering element

When centering the #outer div, the scrollbar starts not on the top left of the element but on the center. It becomes impossible to read the beginning of the text, and a part of the border is cut off.
How could I center and be able to scoll and see all content, including the border, when the content #outer is larger than the parent #container, using css?
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: grid;
place-content: center;
}
#outer {
width: max-content;
border: 1rem solid black;
padding: 2rem;
}
#inner {
background-color: red;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">The beginning of this text is missing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pulvinar ex ut volutpat iaculis. Mauris a tellus vel mauris ullamcorper semper quis non quam. Nullam in scelerisque dolor, vel cursus odio. Nulla dignissim imperdiet mauris eleifend ultricies. Sed auctor tortor nec neque mollis feugiat. Aliquam tincidunt lacus at dictum elementum. Aliquam nunc lacus, lobortis vitae finibus et, vehicula eget nibh. Suspendisse eget tincidunt quam. In posuere quam ac neque sagittis, at finibus ante dignissim. Proin magna enim, bibendum quis pulvinar eget, porttitor non dui. Sed mollis placerat sem, id condimentum libero tempor quis. Maecenas ultrices tellus vel nisi mattis, sit amet scelerisque urna gravida. Nullam eu ipsum vitae eros pulvinar fringilla id ut massa. Fusce vitae rhoncus nulla.</div>
</div>
</div>
This may be because of display:grid;
, because when I removed that, the content is showing itself fully.
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
overflow-x:scroll;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
place-content: center;
}
#outer {
width: max-content;
border: 1rem solid black;
padding: 2rem;
}
#inner {
background-color: red;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">The beginning of this text is missing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pulvinar ex ut volutpat iaculis.

</div>
</div>
I don't know much about grid, but I think another fix might be the width;
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#container {
width:100%;
height: 100%;
display: grid;
place-content: center;
}
#outer {
width:100%;
border: 1rem solid black;
padding: 2rem;
}
#inner {
background-color: red;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="outer">
<div id="inner">The beginning of this text is missing. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer pulvinar ex ut volutpat iaculis. Mauris a tellus vel mauris ullamcorper semper quis non quam. Nullam in scelerisque dolor, vel cursus odio. Nulla dignissim imperdiet mauris eleifend ultricies. Sed auctor tortor nec neque mollis feugiat. Aliquam tincidunt lacus at dictum elementum. Aliquam nunc lacus, lobortis vitae finibus et, vehicula eget nibh. Suspendisse eget tincidunt quam. In posuere quam ac neque sagittis, at finibus ante dignissim. Proin magna enim, bibendum quis pulvinar eget, porttitor non dui. Sed mollis placerat sem, id condimentum libero tempor quis. Maecenas ultrices tellus vel nisi mattis, sit amet scelerisque urna gravida. Nullam eu ipsum vitae eros pulvinar fringilla id ut massa. Fusce vitae rhoncus nulla.</div>
</div>
</div>
But I don't know if you want it on separate lines.

What to do if justify content space between doesn't work

This is what happens:
However I want it to look like this:

Using CSS grid would be better to use and set gutters for the desired gaps.
The main structure of the page should be consistent between pages, flexbox could cause gaps and widths to change page to page based on its content and CSS grid can help with that.
Try to only use Flexbox for smaller elements like a collection of buttons or pills together and CSS grid for Structure.
justify-content: space-between; is nt working because, there is no space between about and content. Make them display: flex and set flex-grow to 1 and adds a flex-basis: 0. These two properties makes the div to grow from a minimum value of 0%. Ths will make both of the element to consume 50% of container width. And make the UI look like the requirement.

I tried to use overflow: hidden; , but that works only for a single "post". When I try to put a second one, the same problem appears and length of the images that flows out of the 'content container' doubles.
I'm newbie in HTML/CSS and the code I write it's for my own knowledge. So I'll be grateful if we figure out something.

Simplest solution is to use overflow: hidden; on .content .container.
I know you said you attempted it previously and even had it commented out in .content .container but it's working for me. Perhaps the issue was where/how you placed the second article in your markup.
.container {
width: 70%;
background-color: #777;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 25px;
}
.content {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
float: left;
}
.content .container {
width: 70%;
height: auto;
background-color: white;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
.autoportrait {
width: 20%;
height: 20%;
/*
max-width:205px;
max-height:265px;
margin-bottom: 25px;
*/
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
border: solid;
border-width: 2px;
float: right;
clear: both;
}

Sticking footer to bottom even if content is not long enough

I am trying to move my footer to the bottom and in the cases if the content is not long enough, then push it to the bottom of the screen. I read that it can be achieved solely by using css, however I couldn't achieve it.
I tried creating columns,
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
...
</nav>
<div id="content">
...
</div>
<div id="footer">
...
</div>
</div>
</body>
Then, in my css, I tried using:
#footer {
height: 30px;
width:100%;
background-color: #2D2D2D;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
}
#wrapper {
background-color: purple;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
but no luck :/
Here I created it in bootply. Here, I added bunch of <br> tags to lengthen the content and added some text underneath. What I want is instead if content is short, stick the footer to the bottom of the page (not where content ends in the middle of the screen); and if content is long, where the content ends just below content.
What am I doing wrong/missing out?
Well, if you want it to always stay at the bottom, you can use this code. Remove the <p> tags and run again to test without text
html,body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 5em;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#content {
background: red;
}
footer {
height: 4em;
background: blue;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
}
<body>

The trick is to use position: relative on the footer's container element and position: absolute on the footer to actually push it to the end of the container. Position: fixed isn't necessary.
https://codepen.io/cbracco/pen/zekgx
html {
height: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*,
*:before,
*:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
body {
position: relative;
margin: 0;
padding-bottom: 6rem;
min-height: 100%;
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 1rem;
background-color: #efefef;
text-align: center;
}
This example does the same thing with a container element over the entire page, instead of operating on the html and body tags.
http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/keeping-footers-at-the-bottom-of-the-page
This sends the footer to bottom of the bage no matter how much text you have:
.footer { background-color: #2D2D2D;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
background-color: #000;
height: 30px;/* or however high you would like */ }
html, body {
height: 100%; }
.wrapper { background-color: purple;
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -30px; }
.footer, .push {
30px; }
.navbar {
background-color: red }
Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding, now it's fixed: http://www.bootply.com/N3XiwwGr9q#

Height 100% on child floated elements of parent with definite height

I need to fix the following code so that child elements were 100% height of its parent. Chromium and Firefox debugging tools show that parent element (footer) has non-zero height. So children should have the same height.
HTML
<div class="footer">
<footer class="clearfix">
<section class="path">
<img height="474px" src="../../src/images/api-maps.yandex.ru.png">
</section>
<section class="info">
<p>bla</p>
</section>
<section class="links">
<p>bla</p>
</section>
<footer class="clearfix"></footer>
</footer>
</div>
CSS
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.clearfix {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.clearfix:before, .clearfix:after {
content: " ";
display: table;
}
.clearfix:after {
clear: both;
}
div.footer {
width: 100%;
}
div.footer footer {
background-color: black;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
footer.clearfix {
border-top: 6px solid grey;
}
footer section {
float: left;
width: 33.333%;
height: 100%;
}
section.path {
background-color: red;
}
section.path img {
width: 100%;
display: block;
}
section.info {
background-color: blue;
}
section.links {
background-color: yellow;
}
I can't figure out why it doesn't work.
The footer has no height of its own, just what is implied by the image in the content so height:100% won't work.
As mentioned in the comments by raplh.m
the height on the container would have to be explicit. A better approach is to use flexbox, or display: table, which is better supported. That is, display: table on the container and display: table-cell on the sections within.
In fact you can use both and if the browser supports flexbox it will use that in preference to display:table.
As a bonus...you don't need to clear any floats because there aren't any.
footer {
display: table;
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
display: -webkit-box;
display: -webkit-flex;
display: -ms-flexbox;
display: flex;
}
section {
display: table-cell;
-webkit-box-flex: 1;
-webkit-flex: 1;
-ms-flex: 1;
flex: 1;
text-align: center;
}
img {
display: block;
margin: auto;
}
.path {
background: red;
}
.info {
background: yellow;
}
.links {
background: blue;
}
<footer>
<section class="path">
<img height="474px" src="http://lorempixel.com/output/city-h-c-200-474-10.jpg">
</section>
<section class="info">
<p>bla</p>
</section>
<section class="links">
<p>bla</p>
</section>
</footer>
Codepen Demo
Since you are using percentage heights, you need to specify the height of parent elements.
Try this:
html, body { height: 100%; }
.footer { height: 100%; }
footer { height: 100%; }
DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/1krrxb87/
For a clear understanding of how the height property works with percentage values, see my answers here:
Why is the 'height' property with percentage value not working on my div?
Percentage height not working in nested flexbox layout in Chrome
This is also possible without use off flexbox or display:table
When you need footer to be atleast have an cross browser height off 100% off the parent you need these CSS rules
footer {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
}
To have three floated sections that will have 100% height and appear equal height you can use this HTML and CSS code.

Note the CSS rules padding-bottom: 999999em and margin-bottom: -999999em these CSS rules will force the browser to create an "height" on the floated section elements.
