I am trying to create a footer that is responsive and sticks to the bottom right of a page but can't get it to work consistently when a absolutely positioned div is on the same page.
The code I am using can be seen at:
http://192.241.203.146/sample-page/
I have tried:
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-top: 40px;
As well as:
float: right;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
margin-bottom: 40px;
margin-top: 40px;
To get it to work, but it does not respect the absolutely positioned content on the page when it is resized down to mobile. It clashes like so:
I know that using position:absolute means that the div is removed from the flow of objects but I need to use it on the element in the middle of the page to avoid the objects jumping around when I use jQuery fades.
I suspect this is because it is not inside a span or row as per the bootstrap base I am using. Is that the problem?
I'm at a loss here - any guidance appreciated :)
Your problem is that the div is normal to the page, but his position is absolute. Inspecting your code i saw this:
if you want the footer is always visible in the bottom, you can wrap the footer to the div which width will be 100% of the width of the page. Like this:
div#footer_container{
min-width: 100%;
min-height: 100px;
position: relative;
}
div#footer_container div#footer{
position: absolute;
right: 0px;
bottom: 0px;
}
Result:
Red - main container of your page, Green - container of your footer (its always will be after the main container), Blue - your footer.
P.S. sorry for my english :)
I think I've found it!
Try this:
.main {
padding-bottom: 140px;
}
It works for me even if I reduce the width of the browser.

I have this site:
http://dl.dg-site.com/functionmentes/
There is a div with color #D9D9D9
Code CSS:
#full_bar{background:#D9D9D9;width:100%;height:100px;}
I want to my div to be the full width site and to be glued to footer.
How can i make this?
I use a theme in Wordpress.
Thanks in advance!
By making the position fixed, this will ensure that it will follow the user as they scroll up and down your website.
#full_bar {
background: #d9d9d9;
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
If you add position:absolute; left: 0; to the css, the bar will more or less do what you're trying to do, but it's a dirty hack.
The real problem is that you're adding your 'full_bar' in the wrong place (inside a div which restricts the width). Personally I would opt for placing the full-bar in your <footer> tag.
You should placed your gray bar outside the section, between section and footer or on footer on html.
But if you want a css solution, you need to put your section parent to position relative and set your gray bar on absolute bottom with full width:
section {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 100px; // Your bar height
}
#full_bar{
background:#D9D9D9;
width:100%;
height:100px;
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}
You are putting #full_bar inside class="container". container is the parent of div id #full_bar, that's why its not taking full width.
Do your code outside contaner class and you can see the changes.
See the attachment, i think you want this as per i understand your question.
just got a question regarding relative & absolute positioning and applying clearfix to the main container cos I've written the code and it's not behaving as I expected.
Structure-wise this is a simple page about product history. nav-bar with drop-down menu at the top across the screen, then a big hero image across the screen, followed by a few paragraphs and a simple footer, that's it.
here's my problem:
I need to put 3 components in the hero image area - the hero image itself, one title word on the top left corner and one logo on the top right corner. What I've done is: I created a div and used the hero image as background image. I set the position value of the div to relative. I created another div to hold the title word and set the position to absolute, using top and left to give it a location. Following the same logic, I created another div to hold the logo and set it to float right, with position set to absolute and top and right to give a location. I've applied clearfix to the main div and everything looks ok on my screen (resolution 1280 x 1024) until I saw it on the wide screen(1680 x 1050) --- the logo is not on the hero image! It's to the right side of the hero image.
What caused this? I thought by putting 2 divs inside the main div and applying clearfix, the three will "get together" and act as one and won't separate... Is it because I haven't written any code for responsive layout? Or was it because I shouldn't have used the hero image as the background? Would this problem be solved if I used z-index instead to specify the stack order of hero image, logo and title word?
Below is my code and any help would be much appreciated!
<div id="history-content" class="clearfix">
<div id="history-image-text">HISTORY</div>
<div id="stamp">
<img src="./images/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
#history-content {
background-image: url('./images/heroimage.jpg');
min-height: 307px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
}
#history-image-text {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 50px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#stamp img {
width: 10%; /*not sure I'm doing the right thing here either*/
height: 40%; /*not sure I'm doing the right thing here either*/
float: right;
position: absolute;
right: 100px;
top: 20px;
}
.clearfix:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden;
height: 0;
line-height: 0;
}
Few things:
Absolutely positioned elements are taken out of normal flow, hence doesn't affect the size of their parent.
Since they're out of normal flow, float has no effect on them (as far as i know)
Absolutely positioned elements shrink wraps to fit it's contents unless width and height is set explicitly or stretched using the top, right, bottom & left properties.
Now your parent div #history-content doesn't have any height set, and all of it's content of are absolutely positioned, So it's not visible (height 0)
applying a proper height for the parent seems to fix the issues for me.
Side note: unlike what you think, you don't have two absolutely positioned<div>'s, #stamp img absolutely positions the <img> inside div#stamp, for the same reason mentioned above, div#stamp is also invisible (height 0) you'll get the same result with and without it. And without floats
As others have said, float doesn't have an effect on absolute positioned elements, and so technically you don't need clearfix in this case.
I'm not exactly sure why your logo is positioned outside the outermost container #history-content, but you could try to put a border around the #history-content to further troubleshoot.
EDIT: Maybe check your hero image dimension, is it smaller than 1608px in width?
<div id="history-content">
<div id="history-image-text">HISTORY</div>
<div id="stamp">
<img src="./images/logo.png">
</div>
</div>
I've changed your CSS below
#history-content {
background-image: url('./images/heroimage.jpg');
min-height: 307px; /*set whatever minimum height you wish*/
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
}
#history-image-text {
color: #fff;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
left: 50px;
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#stamp {
display: block;
position: absolute;
right: 100px;
top: 20px;
width: 10%; /*set width of image in containter instead*/
height: auto;
}
#stamp img {
max-width: 100%; /*image width will not stretch beyond 100% of container*/
height: auto;
}

I have a very teasing issue. I have a div positioned absolutely to a point. But when i resize the window, it is moved to other place and not pointed towards where i set it before. How can i resolve this problem?
Here is my HTML -
<div style="position:relative;">
<div id="intro_message">
content
</div>
</div>
And the CSS for "intro_message" div -
#intro_message
{
position: absolute;
left: 322px;
top: 0;
padding: 20px;
width: 505px;
}
You can clearly see even i used relative position to its parent it still doesn't work for me.
EDIT -
Here from 'clearly see..." means if i would have not tell that i used relative positioning then everyone here would suggest me to use it. Therefore i told you all in advance.
EDIT 2 -
#David - After reading you solution, i understood it, actually i had to do one little but crucial change in my css. Now, i have following css for my main container div -
margin: auto;
position: relative;
width: 505px;
and for the inner div #intro_message i have changed some values to position it fine -
#intro_message
{
position: absolute;
left: -137px;
top: -4px;
padding: 20px;
width: 505px;
}
Now it is placed nicely pointing towards a link where i wanted it to be. On resize it still well, but when i go on resizing it is moved again -
on full window by default -
on resize - issue arises again -
So how to solve it?
I assume that you do not actually want the div to be fixed to a coordinate point, because that is what absolute positioning relative to the window does: resizing the page will move everything but the div. So you must want it to be fixed relative to the document.
Though you mentioned you tried relative positioning and it didn't work for you, that is actually the answer to this problem. You used it incorrectly.
Let me explain:
Divs naturally fill the entire width of their parent containers, so placing your absolutely positioned element inside a plain div essentially did nothing. In order for it to matter, you need to have the parent container be in the right spot. I would assume that your parent container would probably be centered inside your page and be a fixed width.
To do this, you can create your div and assign a width and automatic margins to center it:
div[c]{
width: 400px;
margin: auto;
}
As you can see in the following fiddle, both the div positioned relative to the window and the div positioned relative to the yellow div end up in the same place because the div has the full width of the page, but the div positioned relative to the blue div is moved where it should be and will stay there if you resize the page.
JSFiddle
Just use this css:
<style type="text/css">
#intro_message
{
position: absolute;
left: 30%;
top: 0;
padding: 4%;
width: 505px;
}
</style>
In CSS
.contains{
position:relative;
margin:0 auto;
width:900px;//or whatever you want
}
Html:
<div class="contains">
<div id="intro_message">
you are not clearly define your problem so i assume that you have problem in left postion.
I think when you are resize the window inner div will be plot left will be change according to you.
There is no problem regarding to position but your logic was not cleared.
if you want left inner div perfectly than use "percentage" rather than "pixel"
example:
#intro_message
{
position: absolute;
left: 30%;
top: 0;
padding: 20px;
width: 505px;
}
I have a simple question, and want to know if you can solve it for me..
Anyway, the question is, how do i place a box in the right side of the page, that wont affect any of the appearence of the css that is currently on the page :)
Use position: absolute;. To define the position, you can use the top, left, right, bottom properties to specify the respective offsets. In your case, you probably want right:
.rightbar {
position: absolute;
top: 0px; /*how many pixels from top*/
right: 25px; /*how many pixels from right*/
width: 50px;
height: 150px;
}
If you want your div to stay visible even after you scroll, use position: fixed;.
Little demo: little link.
#header
{
position: absolute;
top: 0%;
height: 24px;
}
#body
{
position: absolute;
top: 24px;
bottom: 20%;
overflow: auto;
}
#footer
{
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
height: 17.2%;
min-height: 80px;
overflow: auto;
}
My problem is that when I compress the browser window, the middle element (the 'body') starts to slip into the footer's area (when 20% from the bottom becomes larger than the minimum height of the footer). The footer can be larger in height than its minimum, but it cannot be smaller.
Any good way to do this without Javascript code?
No. When an element is positioned absolutely it is removed from the flow of the document and has no knowledge of any other elements.
I have not seen a sticky-footer solution that will work with a variable height footer.
There are some examples of headers and footers on Dynamic Drive. These are pure CSS layout examples.
You should be able to achieve the same effect with a combination of these two.
