Sticky-Footer for jQueryMobile - html

The best way to describe what I'm looking for is the thread below.
Make div stay at bottom of page's content all the time even when there are scrollbars
The difference is I want a footer like stackoverflow at the bottom but using the jQueryMobile framework. Is this possible?
I've tried the techniques in the other thread successfully for sites not using the framework, but I think the framework forces divs into absolute position and it gets really messy and I'm not sure the best way to do this?
Any help is appreciated.

I found the answer to my question.
[data-role=page] {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
[data-role=content] {
margin-bottom: 80px; /* based on how tall your footer is and how much gap you want */
}
[data-role=footer] {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 60px /* this can be configurable, or omitted, as long as the above padding-bottom is at least as much as the height of the footer is */
padding-bottom:60px;
}
I did a variation of the answer I found by Nick here: Jquery Mobile Sticky Footer
What I changed was to use margin instead of padding so that the content didn't increase in size when there was no need for it to.

Make aspect ratio of responsive iframe same as ratio of screen/window size

I'm trying to insert basic html (local file) into a parent html. From my previous question I concluded that jquery load might never work in prod so I attempted to use iframe as per Makesh Keshu's suggestion. It sort of does what I want, but now I'm running into some styling issues? Since the local file I'm trying to embed is just text essentially, I want it to just look like the parent html holds the text (aka responsive sizing and all) -- motivation for embedding the html and not just writing it in directly is mainly because the site owner wants to try to make the text entry not "steal-able" from just doing inspect and copying the text away.
My css right now uses an iframe wrapper class that does the usual that everyone else suggests:
.text-wrapper {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 100%;
padding-top: 100%;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.text-wrapper iframe {
position: absolute;
border: 0;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
display: block;
}
However, I suspect due to the aspect ratio from the padding attributes, it looks great when my screen is in split-screen view or on mobile, but when I resize the screen to full screen, there is a lot of white space under all the text to keep the container at roughly the half-screen-view aspect ratio. (Please correct me if this assumption is wrong -- I'm still a beginner with front-end.)
Basically, I want to try to make the aspect ratio of the iframe container the same as the ratio of the tab/window/screen -- which changes as window resizes and whatnot.
I looked through this question because it seems similar, but I'm neither sure I understand the idea behind the answer very well nor am I sure it really answers my question. That question I think is asking to size the iframe-container according to the content size without using a fixed aspect ratio, which would achieve the same thing, but I'm trying to see if I can just make the aspect ratio responsive based on the "screen"(window?) ratio.
This article ended up working really well for my specific purposes. I'm not sure I 100% understand the theory behind it yet, but it uses a pseudo-element. It seems to have solved my problem of having extraneous whitespace in the iframe container in full-screen, but I'm not sure if it solves the general issue (for people who want to try the method out).
The css code I ended up using (for the container, css for iframe remains the same):
.aspect-ratio-box {
background: white;
}
.text-wrapper::before {
content: "";
width: 1px;
margin-left: -1px;
float: left;
height: 0;
padding-top: 52.46%;
}
.text-wrapper::after {
content: "";
display: table;
clear: both;
}

Removing whitespace beneath footer with CSS (Wordpress)

I just revamped my website and I'm having a bit of trouble with the fine details (keep in mind that I know almost nothing about web development, even though I'm in the software field; I'm trying to learn).
Namely, I noticed on some of my smaller pages (my About page, for example) have a white bar going across the screen underneath the footer. I'd much rather have the footer dynamically extend itself to the bottom of the screen. How can I do this, can I write some custom CSS?
Here's my site:

Thanks to flexbox, sticky footers (including those without a fixed height - because hardly anything that is responsive can have a fixed height) have become dead simple (depending on the markup of your page). Fortunately, your markup is excellent for it:
html,body { height:100%; }
body { display: flex; flex-direction: column; }
body>section { flex: 1 0 auto; }
Change to fixed poistion ;-)
.footer-bg {
position: relative;
}
.footer-bg {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Aibrean is correct, you need to use a sticky footer similar to that proposed in the link here...

Alternatively you could apply position: fixed; and bottom: 0; to your 'footer' element, but this would bring problems when working with pages that have content that stretches beyond your window height.

Always display footer at the bottom of the page

I want to display my footer at the bottom of the page, relative to the content area. So it should adapt if my browser is smaller or larger, up until where the content area stops.
I tried to follow this link but I can't seem to get it to work on my website.
I added the PUSH div at the bottom of my content area
I set the correct heights and adjustments in the css
My footer is still displayed half way on my screen and also messes up the titles. The guys that sold me the Wordpress theme are reluctant to help me ...
If anyone could guide me in the right direction that would be a great help!
I think this could do what you want:
body {
padding-bottom: 50px;
/* Set a padding-botton equivalent
to the height of your footer
this is for preventing the
footer to be covered because
of its z-index
*/
}
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: -999;
}
Hope it works ;)
Add the following code to your css:
footer{
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 999;
}
The footer will be always on the bottom.
Ok so the issue here is this, you can stick the item to the bottom as #Dzhambazov suggested either with position:absolute or position: fixed it is going to stay in place at the bottom even if that is halfway up your content.
So you can go with other alternates like: How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page?
Mentioned in the comments, but this is not going to be as easy with a prebuilt theme as you will be fighting with the theme dev's structure.
What you could do as a fix to make it more bearable is to increase the minimum height of the content so that it "fakes" the footer further down, this has its draw backs and could mean that your footer is off the bottom of the view port, but if it is irritating you to that level. you could try.
#content {
min-height: 200px;
/* forces the content block to take up space */
}
hope that helps other wise stick the footer to the bottom as mentiones and have it always display, but note that may trash mobile so you will want to remove the positioning via a media query for phones etc.

Bootstrap Fixed navbar, sticky footer, dynamically scaled content

I want to achieve this example but with the difference that in case there is too much content on my page (between navbar and footer) that this content is down-scaled / squeezed to fit inside (i.e. so that the footer is still visible at all screen resolutions, making it a "fixed footer" in CSS jargon). I'm using bootstrap 3.1.1 and it would be cool if anyone has a solution that is bootstrap-friendly :). Best!
You could always go with a fixed footer and have any additional content scroll underneath it.
Heres a jsfiddle as an example:
html {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
body {
margin-bottom: 1.5rem /* or whatever your fixed footer height is */
}
/* and assuming your footer has id="footer" */
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 1.5rem;
overflow: hidden;
}
Please see this answer here, and the example it refers to here. It's going to be a bit different I assume if you've got pictures and everything though. If you could provide an example of your content on jsFiddle we could probably help you scale it a little better.

Force whitespace to appear between fixed-width div and the right side of page

I have a question for the front-end web development experts out there which is stumping me.
On my page, I have a sidebar which is fixed on the right side of the page, and then a large block of content (fixed-width) that takes up more than the width of the browser window. The problem is, the content on the far right side of the div can't be seen because it's behind the fixed sidebar.
Here is a super stripped down example of my issue in jsFiddle.
EDIT: Here is a more complete example of my issue.
I thought that simply applying padding-right: "width of sidebar"px to either the body or to a wrapper div, or applying margin-right: "width of sidebar"px to the content div should fix the issue, but neither works. I don't want to resort to putting in a filler div unless there is no way to accomplish this effect with CSS.
I did a search for the issue on google and so, but all I found were questions about how to remove whitespace from the right side, which is the opposite of what I want to do.
Thanks to anyone who can solve this stumper!
EDIT: After seeing a multiple questions about why I can't simply set things up differently, I thought I'd clarify by showing a more in-depth example of what I'm trying to accomplish. You can see that here. The columns in the table must be fixed-width, and I want to be able to see the full contents of the last column. Hope that helps clarify things!
I know you already came up with a jquery solution, but I think you could get by with a simple css rule:
tr td:last-child { padding-right: 100px; }
It just sets padding on the last td in each tr, equal to the fixed right sidebar width.
I made the wrapper position absolute with a left 0 and right of 110px, which you also can put on the content div instead of the wrapper. Just to give you a hint... See http://jsfiddle.net/aHKU5/98/
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0px; right:110px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
Edit
I also create a version with a max-width that makes sure the content will never exceed 900px, but if there is less room it will respect the sidebar as well... http://jsfiddle.net/aHKU5/102/
#wrapper {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
max-width: 900px;
margin-right: 110px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
I know you wanted fixed width, but this works how you want I believe without worrying about user screen resolution. I just added float:right and width:100%; to the content div and it looks good to me. Try this code:
#content {
border: 1px solid #444;
background: #aaa;
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
float:right;
}
So I figured out a solution to my issue. I simply used jQuery to set the width of the body to the width of the table plus the width of the right sidebar. Worked like a charm.
Here's the code I used if future developers stumble upon this page with the same question:
$('body').css('width', $('table').width() + 150 + 'px');
Where 150 is the width of the sidebar.
