I try to create a small website. Now I've problems with the positioning of several html attributes. What I'll do is quite simple: the header should have a width of 100% and fixed on the top. The footer should have also a width of 100% and fixed on the button. The vertical navigation bar should fill the space between the footer and the header. The content, should fill the rest, with a margin of 10px. Here's my actual try:
CSS:
* {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
border: 0px;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
width; 100%;
}
#pageWrapper {
height: 100%;
}
header{
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color:yellow;
}
footer{
height: 50px;
width: 100%;
background-color:blue;
}
#mainWrapper{
width:100%;
height: 100%;
background-color:black;
}
#mainWrapper #navigation {
width: 250px;
height: 100%;
background-color:orange;
float: left;
}
#mainWrapper #content {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
HTML:
<body>
<div id="pageWrapper">
<header>
</header>
<div id="mainWrapper">
<div id="navigation">
</div>
<div id="content">
<p>Test content</p>
</div>
</div>
<footer>
</footer>
</div>
</body>

What you can see is, that the size of this page is bigger than 100%, there is a scrollbar. How can I get this scrollbar away? And how I can set for the content a margin of 10px?
You are using 100% for all elements which will push the bottom out of the viewport so some elements have to be less than 100%
#mainWrapper {
height: calc(100% - 100px);
}
-100px means you take out the header and footer
if you dont mind using vh you can solve it like this.
We're just making the footer and header each 10% height of the viewport with height:10vh and the content 80% with height:80vh

I'm theming a Drupal website and using the vegas full screen bg.
I want to achieve the following:
But I have some trouble by theming the footer: I want it to be always displayed under the background image (so you have to scroll down to see the footer) now it keeps coming over the background image. Besides that I want the main menu and footer to become full width and not 960px like the container. But I can't seem to get these 2 to 'break out' the container.
Now I've:
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
width: 100%;
height:100px;
background-color: #202020;
}
#primary-menu-bar{
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.70);
padding-top: 10px;
}
Normally something like this does the trick but I'm struggling to get this right...
Anybody any advice or solutions?
You didn't show any HTML, so I just came up with some HTML myself. If the footer is only visible when you scroll down you need to have some sort of wrapper for both your header and your content element. You can then set the wrapper min-height to 100% and use background-image/background-size for a full-screen image background.
HTML:
<div class="wrapper">
<header class="page-head" role="banner">
Header
</header>
<main class="main" role="main">
Content
</main>
</div>
<footer class="page-foot" role="contentinfo">
Footer
</footer>
CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
background-image: url(http://placehold.it/1200x800);
background-position: center center;
background-size: cover;
}
.page-head {
background: red;
}
.main {
width: 80%;
margin: 0 auto;
background: yellow;
}
.page-foot {
background: blue;
}
See example on this pen.
here is a possible solution: http://jsfiddle.net/09mcoo2h/1/
as i said in the comment below your question: you need to have footer and header outside the container (that is the only with 960px)
To have a footer TO THE BOTTOM of the page, just set the body as position:relative.
HTML
<div id="primary-menu-bar"></div>
<div id="container"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
CSS
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
}
#container {
display:block;
width:960px;
height:1600px;
background:#eee;
margin:0 auto;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
width: 100%;
height:100px;
background-color: #202020;
}
#primary-menu-bar{
width: 100%;
height: 60px;
top:0;
background-color: #F00;
padding-top: 10px;
}
It's really hard for us to do it like this with out HTML.
So basically what you need to do is place the footer and header outside the container. Because the container is 960px, so the header and footer can go over it.
The structure should be like this:
<body>
<header></header>
<div class="container"></div>
<footer></footer>
</body>
Example on codepen
I'd like to have a sticky header with a %-height property. Sections below the header should take up the remaining height of the page, for example: header=10% all other sections are atleast 90%. This is similar to a related question: CSS Sticky Header/Footer and Fully Stretched Middle Area?, but he's using fixed px-height whereas i want %-height. I tried to use margin on my section, but that doesn't seem to work. Not does it seem to work to use a margin and 90% height on my sections.
For the moment I was able to come up with: http://jsfiddle.net/K9m63/. But a few problems:
The first section dissapears underneath the header.
Because of point 1, the section div's are too high and therefore not taking the remaining size.
HTML
<header>
<nav>Test</nav>
</header>
<section>
<div class="container yellow">1</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="container pink">2</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="container purple">3</div>
</section>
CSS
body, html {
height: 100%;
}
header {
height: 10%;
background-color: green;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
width: 100%;
}
.helper {
display: inline-block;
height: 100%;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.nav-image {
vertical-align: middle;
}
section {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: red;
}
.container {
width: 72.8125%;
background-color: blue;
margin: 0px auto;
height: 100%;
}
.yellow {
background-color: yellow;
}
.pink {
background-color: pink;
}
.purple {
background-color: purple;
}
Thanks!
Possible solution:
I have wrapped all sections into 2 divs.
<div class="wrapper">//rest 90% of the page
<div class="wrapper2">//100% of parent
<section>
<div class="container yellow">1</div>
</section>
<section>...
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.wrapper {
min-height:90%;
height:auto !important;
position:relative;
top:10%;
}
.wrapper2 {
height:100%;
width:100%;
position:absolute;
}
Also, add z-index:1; to header.
Updated fiddle here.
Based on your drawing, this is how you could* do it. - but there's also "fixed" / or "Sticky" positioning. - and this layout would force you to implement your own scroll below - in the page content, which is a pain.
html, body {
height: 100vh; /* you can use vh or % - but either way... */
height: 100%; /* they don't know their own height... how would they? */
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
.site-header {
background: #ff6666;
height: 10%;
}
.page-content {
background: #6666ff;
height: 90%;
}
<header class="site-header">
header
</header>
<main class="page-content">
main
</main>
I would like to put footer on the bottom of the page (or bottom of the screen, if page is shorter than a screen). I am using code:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header-wrapper">
...
</div> <!--header-wrapper-->
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="body-wrapper">
<div class="row960">
<div class="menu">...</div>
<div class="content">...</div>
</div> <!--row960-->
</div> <!--body-wrapper-->
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="footer-wrapper" class="gray">
</div> <!--footer-wrapper-->
</div> <!--wrapper-->
and css:
.clear{
clear:both;
display:block;
overflow:hidden;
visibility:hidden;
width:0;
height:24px;
margin:0px
}
html, body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
body{
background-color: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-size: 14px;
}
#wrapper{
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
#header-wrapper{
height: 100px;
}
#body-wrapper{
padding-bottom: 50px;
}
#footer-wrapper{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
.row960{
width: 960px;
margin: auto;
overflow: auto;
}
#menu{
width: 200px;
float: left;
}
.content{
width: 740px;
margin-left: 20px;
float: right;
}
The problem is that footer is on the bottom of the screen even if the page is longer than a screen (it covers a text). I've checked it with Firebug and body-wrapper has right height, but row960 has height of screen instead of height of page. I can't figure out how to fix it. Does any one have idea what to do?
You can see my page on http://www.domenblenkus.com/fiap/notice.php
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: I don't know if I emphasized it enough, so I would like to point it out that the main problem is that height of row960 is not right.
Hmmm, I think I have a solution that fits the requirements you stated. There are certainly other ways to do this though, so you can keep looking around if you don't agree with this method. (Also, when I looked on your site it appeared that your #wrappper element was a sibling of #footer-wrapper, and not a parent.)
So, the HTML would look like (structure copied from your site):
<div id="wrappper">
<div id="header-wrapper" class="gray">
<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="body-wrapper"></div>
<div class="clear"></div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer-wrapper" class="gray"></div>
Note the addition of the .spacer element at the bottom of #wrappper, it's required for this approach of the "sticky footer".
Now, CSS you'll need to add (add to any current definitions if you already have them):
body, html{
height: 100%;
}
#wrappper{
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -50px;
height: auto;
}
.spacer{
height: 50px;
}
If you're wondering why I chose 50px for the height, it's because that's the height of your footer element, #footer-wrapper.
Anyways, I only really tested this in the Firebug console, so I'm not sure how it will behave in a live environment, but I'm fairly certain this will give you what you want. If this isn't what you were looking for, let me know and I'll be happy to help further!
If you want it at the bottom, then you don't need the position:absolute or bottom:0, it will be at the bottom of your div anyway.
You can try doing it using margin. Here is a fiddle of what I'm taking about: http://jsfiddle.net/8WLyP/
Basically for your HTML, place all your content inside a "container" element and then your footer will be a sibling of that element.
Then in your CSS what you will need is to give them html and body elements a min-height: 100%
You "container" element will also have min-height: 100%
You will then need to give your footer a heightof X, in my example it's 50 pixels.
The "container" element will need to have margin-bottom: -50px or whatever value you give the height of the footer.
With all that done, make sure you don't give "container" and "footer" any other margins or paddings than the ones shown, if you need to give them, then you will need to give it to the child elements, in my example p element.
With this technique, as opposed to position: fixed the footer will stick to the bottom of the window if the content is too short, and it will move with the content when the content is bigger than the window/viewport.
HTML:
<div id="container">
<header>
<p>Header</p>
</header>
<section>
<p>Section</p>
</section>
</div>
<footer>
<p>Footer</p>
</footer>
CSS:
html, body, header, footer, section, p, div {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
p {
padding: 5px 10px;
}
header {
width: 100%;
background: #f00;
color: #fff;
}
section {
width: 100%;
height: 200px;
background :#0f0;
color: #fff;
}
#container {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -50px;
}
footer {
width: 100%;
background :#00f;
color: #fff;
height: 50px;
}
You want to place the footer at the bottom of the content. BUT: You want to have it at the bottom of the viewport (window) if the content above it is shorter.
So, try this:
the CSS:
#footer-wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 50px;
}
#body-wrapper {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
… and the JavaScript (jQuery):
var bodyWrap = $('#body-wrapper'),
footerWrap = $('#footer-wrapper'),
windowHeight = $(window).height();
var heightRemaining = parseInt(windowHeight - bodyWrap.outherHeight() - footerWrap.outerHeight());
if (heightRemaining > 0) bodyWrap.css('min-height', heightRemaining);
Didn't test it due to little time.
Give it a try.
Code:
<html>
<body>
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id"content">
Some random content
</div>
<div id="footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
width:960px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header {
height: 100px;
}
#content {
min-height: 100%;
}
#footer {
height: 100px;
position: relative;
bottom: 0;
}
Problem:
For what I have been reading, this code should do the height of the content div take all the height of the window even if the content it's smaller. The problem is that it makes it take more than the window height, even with a very small content.
I don't understand how the content can take more than 100% height and how can I fix it.
It's working fine, you're misunderstanding how it should work. You have header and footer set to 100px so the site is actually adding 200px to the entire page.
If that is a copy and paste you have html errors too, your content div is missing an= sign and the footer div is missing the closing "
What you want is a wrapper and position fixed on the footer not relative.
http://jsfiddle.net/calder12/ghDUd/1/
it take more than 100% because the header is having 100px as well, so the page has a 100%+100px total height, put the header inside the content wrap, that would be a quick-fix
Assuming proper code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html {
height: 100%;
}
body{
width:960px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#header{
height: 100px;
}
#content{
min-height: 100%;
}
#footer{
height: 100px;
position: relative;
bottom: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
</div>
<div id="content">
Some random content
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
content div does have 100% of window height. That means it ends 100px (header's height) below window height. If you want footer to be always on the bottom, you should use position: fixed; bottom: 0 on footer.
I'm trying to make a simple DIV layout compatible with IE, and it's giving me hell.
Here's the basic layout I'm working for:
<div id="body" style="background: blue;">
<div id="header">
HEADER
</div>
<div id="content" style="height: 88%;">
CONTENT HERE
</div>
<div id="footer">
FOOTER
</div>
</div>
I'm using CSS rounded corners on the Body div, and I have a navbar and footer info in #footer as well as a tabbed main navbar in #header.
My main problem has been making the #content div stretch vertically to fit the full page when I only have a small amount of content WITHOUT creating vertical scrollbars.
If I make #content height: 100%; the header and footer cause the page's height to go above 100% and triggers scrollbars.
Making #content's height 88% does the trick in FireFox, but there are two problems with this solution:
a) It's an ugly hack
b) It doesn't work in IE (of course).
Anyone have ideas on how to accomplish this? I assume is should be a fairly common situation for web designers out there.
There you go, try this template, it's really simple and i think it would solve your problem.
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="header">
<div id="header_900">
<p>header</p>
</div><!--header_900-->
</div>
<div id="content">
<div id="content_900">
<p>content</p>
</div> </div>
</div><!--wrapper-->
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer_900">
<p>footer</p>
</div> </div>
CSS
body, html{
height: 100%;
}
body, p {
margin: 0; padding: 0;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
}
* html #wrapper {
height: 100%;
}
/*HEADER------------------------------------*/
#header {
width: 100%;
background: #666;
}
#header_900 {
width: 960px;
height: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
overflow: hidden;
}
/*FOOTER------------------------------------*/
#footer {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
margin: -100px auto 0 auto; /*THIS SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE FOOTERS HEIGHT*/
position: relative;
background: #666;
}
#footer_900 {
width: 960px;
height: 100px;/*THIS IS THE FOOTERS HEIGHT*/
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
}
/*CONTENT------------------------------------*/
#content {
width: 100%;
padding-bottom: 100px; /*THIS SHOULD BE EQUAL TO THE FOOTERS HEIGHT*/
}
#content_900 {
width: 960px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden;
}
I don't think there is an official way to accomplish this unless you use quirks mode. If you use quirks mode (no doctype), it would look something like this:
html, body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%:
}
#content {
height: 100%:
}
