This is a sample HTML page:
<html>
<body>
<div class="content">
</div>
<footer> </footer>
</body>
</html>
This is my style sheet:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
position: relative;
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
.content {
width: 8cm;
position: absolute;
background-color: #ff0;
height: 15cm;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
background-color: #f00;
width: 100%;
}
This is how it looks like:
My problem is that I want the red footer to be at the bottom of the page (not the bottom of the viewport), assuming that the .content is of an variable height actually. Is that possible without JavaScript?
This Fiddle shows a footer that is always either at the lowest point on the page or on the bottom of the viewport.
The DIV is positioned at the bottom of the viewport when the content does not fill the page, and stays below the content when the content gets taller than the viewport.
To accomplish this, use a min-height on the body like this:
html {
height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
Tested in Safari 8.0.3.

I'm trying to get my footer displayed at the bottom of the page. Usually it's just position: fixed and bottom: 0. However I want my footer positioned inside a container (section element), so when the size of my sidebar at the left changes, I want my footer be also moved to the right or left.
I thought I could get use of position: sticky instead of width, but when there's not enough content inside of section element, it is displayed at the bottom of the section, but not at the bottom of the page.
Is there a pure CSS solution for this or have I add some javascript?
body {
margin: 0;
}
.page-body {
display: grid;
grid-template-columns: 7rem calc(100vw - 7rem);
}
.sidebar {
background-color: yellow;
}
section {
position: relative;
width: 100%;
min-height: 100vh;
background-color: green;
}
.content {
padding-top: 400px;
}
footer {
position: -webkit-sticky;
position: sticky;
bottom: 10px;
background-color: blue;
z-index: 999;
padding: 0;
}

Remove the padding-top on the .content class add height 100vh to it and remove the bottom:10px on footer can solve your problem
.content {
height:100vh;
}
I have a three-column layout that takes up 100% width and height of the browser (with padding). This layout contains two columns which also take up 100% height and should scroll independently.
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/KdZ9A/2/. Here is how it looks in Chrome (desirable -- individual columns scroll):
and Firefox and IE (undesirable -- body is scrolling):
This works perfectly in Chrome; however, the in Firefox and IE (10), the entire page scrolls instead of individual columns scrolling. I only want the columns to overflow and scroll -- not the body. Any idea how to make this work in Firefox and IE?
I've also tried a bit different approach using absolute positioning of the columns' contents: http://jsfiddle.net/KdZ9A/3/.
Here is the HTML I am using:
<div id="container">
<div id="inner">
<div id="palette">palette</div>
<div id="list">
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
<div id="editor">
<div class="content"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I'm using absolute positioning to achieve 100% height and then display of table and table-cell inside that to achieve 100% height of the columnns:
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
body {
position: relative;
}
#container {
background-color: #f1f1f1;
position: absolute;
left: 20px;
right: 20px;
top: 20px;
bottom: 20px;
}
#inner {
display: table;
height: 100%;
}
#inner > div {
display: table-cell;
}
#palette {
min-width: 180px;
max-width: 180px;
width: 180px !important;
background-color: pink;
}
#list {
width: 55%;
min-width: 350px;
background-color: cyan;
}
#editor {
width: 45%;
min-width: 400px;
background-color: magenta;
}
.content {
overflow: auto;
height: 100%;
}
I was 5 minutes from giving up and HOLY CRAP...I GOT IT WORKING
http://jsfiddle.net/gFX5E/15/
This is based on the different approach I mentioned. I needed to wrap .content divs and make the wrappers position relative. I also added some headers to the columns.
HTML:
<div class="content-wrap">
<div class="content">
...
</div>
</div>
CSS:
.content-wrap {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
}
.content {
overflow: auto;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
}
Seems to work in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and IE8+.
And here is a more semantic HTML5 version which also adds a header to the top: http://jsfiddle.net/gFX5E/20/. I believe this will require use of html5shiv to work in IE8.
If you are willing to settle for a fixed total width, here is how:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Demo</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style>
* {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
box-sizing: border-box; /* makes filling up easier */
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
#container {
position: relative;
width: 980px;
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
background: grey;
}
#palette {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 800px;
background: pink;
}
#list {
position: absolute;
left: 180px;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 450px;
background: cyan;
overflow-y: auto;
}
#editor {
position: absolute;
left: 530px;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
background: magenta;
overflow-y: auto;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="palette">Palette</div>
<div id="list" class="content"></div>
<div id="editor" class="content"></div>
</div>
<script>
$(function() {
for (var i=0; i<20; i++) {
$('.content').append('<p>Lorem ipsum [truncated for SO]</p>');
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

This is a pretty old post, but I thought I'd comment.
If you display: flex instead of display: table in your 1st example that should fix the issue.
Also setting your scroll container height to 100vh will also do the trick.
You have to understand that the browsers apply scroll only when they understand the size( i.e. height and width) of the content is greater than the size specified for it. In your case, the height you have specified for the div is 100%. This effectively tells the browser to keep increasing the size of the div till all the content fits in completely. Hence, this creates the situation where scroll isn't needed as the browser would 'fit' the entire content within this div.
So if you want the div (or the paragraphs contained in it) to be scrollable, then you would have to specify the height and then tell the browser to provide a scroll for the content that won't fit in the specified size.
I am not sure if you want the individual 'paragraphs' to be scrollable or the entire div( which contains these paragraphs) to be scrollable. In either case, you would need to provide a fixed height for the scroll to be useful. Your paragraph tag would need to have the following CSS applied to it :
p {
height: 200px; /*Some fixed height*/
overflow-y: scroll;
}
Here's an example of this: http://jsfiddle.net/y49C3/
In case you want your div called 'content' to be scrollable (as opposed to the paragraphs), then you would have to apply the aforementioned CSS to the div instead.
.content {
overflow-y: scroll;
height: 500px;
}
You can see that here: http://jsfiddle.net/qF7Mt/1/
I have tested this in Firefox (29) and IE 10 and it works fine!!!
Hope this helps!!!
I am trying to design a layout where i will have header 100px at the top. footer 80px always stick to the bottom of browser screen and an scrollable content area in between header and footer. the vertical scrollbar should come in the content area when i finished writing till the content touches the top end of footer.
Can Anyone suggest me how can i achieve this
Here is what i have tried: JsFiddle
<header>
</header>
<div id="main">
<div id="content">
scrollable content area
</div>
<footer>
footer always appearing bottom of the browser screen
</footer>
</div>
My css:
header {
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: #bbb;
}
#main {
background: #ccc;
width: 100%;
height: 100%
}
#content {
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background: green;
overflow-y: auto;
}
footer {
position: relative;
bottom: 0;
height: 80px;
width: 100%;
background: #aaa;
}
EDITED: FIDDLE
#content {
position: absolute;
height: calc(100% - 180px);
background: green;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
I answered a similar question before at: Div height percentage based but still scrolling
Here is one approach.
The HTML:
<header>The Header...</header>
<div id="main">
<div id="content">
scrollable content area
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ...</p>
</div>
</div>
<footer>footer always appearing bottom of the browser screen</footer>
The CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
header {
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: #bbb;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
}
#main {
background: #ccc;
width: 100%;
position: absolute;
top: 100px;
bottom: 80px;
left: 0;
right: 0;
overflow-y: auto;
}
#content {
overflow: auto;
background: green;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 80px;
width: 100%;
background: #aaa;
}
The trick is to create an absolutely positioned block container that spans the area between the header and the footer, #main, using the top, bottom, left, right offsets, and apply overflow-y: auto.
The #content will then take up space and eventually trigger the scroll bar on #main.
See demo at: http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/aNRE9/
You will need to use JavaScript for this unfortunately. No big deal. I've also added the handler for when you resize the window.
var resizeTimer;
window.onload = function(){
makeMiddleFull();
}
window.onresize = function(){
clearTimeout(resizeTimer);
resizeTimer = setTimeout(makeMiddleFull, 100);
}
function makeMiddleFull(){
var cobj = document.getElementById('content');
cobj.style.height = (getDocHeight() - (document.getElementById('header').style.height + document.getElementById('footer').style.height)) + "px";
}
function getDocHeight() {
var D = document;
return Math.max(
D.body.scrollHeight, D.documentElement.scrollHeight,
D.body.offsetHeight, D.documentElement.offsetHeight,
D.body.clientHeight, D.documentElement.clientHeight
);
}

Just tell me what you have tried? I don't see any header, any footer, just a text there in the scollable div.
Ok let me guide you a bit.
What you do is simple but would require you to understand the point.
How to make the footer stick to the bottom.
footer {
position: absolute; // position as absolute..
bottom: 0; // margin-bottom as 0
max-width: 80px; // width
margin: 0 auto; // margin..
}
This will make the footer to always stay at the end of the document I mean at the bottom of the page.
How to make header
header {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
max-width: 100px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
How to make a scrollable div
I donot fully understand this one. So I am just going to guide you a bit.
You can create a scrollbar in the content div. You want this:
the vertical scrollbar should come in the content area
You can do that by using this:
div {
max-height: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
}
I will assume that you are going to change the div to the element or class or id to the one you're having.
Making a scrollable div with a scrollbar.
First you will create a div with a max-height, to make the div not exceed the height of the screen. Then you can use a scrollbar like this:
overflow: scroll;
Add this property to the element. This way, you'll have a footer, an header, and a content block which has a scrollbar for it self, not the one that browser has.
Fiddle for this:
http://jsfiddle.net/afzaal_ahmad_zeeshan/aNRE9/2/
I am really sorry but I didn't bother changing the background, but you can see, the header stays there, footer at the end, and the div scrolls! :)
Good luck!
I am trying to do the following in a CSS template:
Dock the footer to the bottom when there is not enough content to
fill the page
Stretch the header and footer background across the whole width
Position all the content in the middle of the page
This is the code I have, created with help on here:
http://tinkerbin.com/lCNs7Upq
My question is, I have seen a few ways to achieve this. Is this the best? It seems a shame to have to have the empty div as well, is this a bodge?
You can fix and element to the footer using CSS:
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
However, I'm trying to figure out what exactly your trying to do.
You header and footer should automatically go 100% across the page if it's a div.
Your middle section can be set to height: auto; via css and will fill up the viewport pushing the footer all the way to the bottom, but to do this you also have to set the body to 100% in order to get it to work.
html, body, #content {
height: 100%;
min-height: 100%;
}
#header {
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: blue;
position: fixed;
top: 0;
}
#content {
height: auto;
margin: 100px auto;
background: green;
}
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
background: red;
}
Your HTML should look somewhat like this:
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
Working Example: http://jsfiddle.net/s4rT3/1/
This is the best example I have seen:
http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/sticky-footer/
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.page-wrap {
min-height: 100%;
/* equal to footer height */
margin-bottom: -142px;
}
.page-wrap:after {
content: "";
display: block;
}
.site-footer, .page-wrap:after {
height: 142px;
}
.site-footer {
background: orange;
}
<div class="page-wrap">
Content!
</div>
<footer class="site-footer">
I'm the Sticky Footer.
</footer>
Update: In 2019 using flex is a better option.
Im trying to get a footer to stick to the bottom of my webpage but it floats only half way up. I've looked at a few examples and I cant see what im doing wrong. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My simplified code is shown below.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id = "wrapper">
<!--Wrapper div for the main content-->
</div>
<!--Footer container-->
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>
</html>
--CSS--
body
{
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding:0;
background-color: #1A1F2B;
min-width: 960px;
}
#wrapper{
min-height: 100%;
}
.footer{
position: relative;
margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */
height: 150px;
clear:both;
display: block;
background-color: #232A3B;
}
If you want it to be at the bottom of the document:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
If you want it to be at the bottom of the viewport:
.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
If you'd like the footer div to be on the bottom of the page and span the entire width this would work:
.footer {
position: absolute;
bottom:0;
height: 150px;
width: 100%;
background-color: #232A3B;
}
HTML5 also supports the <footer> Tag which may make it easier for bots to process the information on your webpage. To change that just use footer { instead of .footer { and change the HTML markup.
