I've been tasked with changing a website around a bit, and right now, the website has a responsive layout that is 95% of the viewports width, body-wise, so it will adjust if resized.
This is great, I want it to keep doing that, but I want the footer to have a side-to-side calm blue background, and I'm not able to come up with a way to do that for some reason.
Can anyone help?
Try this - DEMO
HTML
<div id="container">
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<section>MAIN CONTENT</section>
<footer> FOOTER </footer>
</div>
CSS
#container {
width: 95%;
margin: auto;
background: honeydew;
}
footer {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
background: beige;
margin-left: -2.5%;
}
body contains all the other elements. You thus aren't supposed to have one larger than body inside of it.
Although you could position it absolutely to the bottom-left corner (position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px;) with a width of 100% and possibly make it work, I'd suggest you instead make a container element, perhaps a div, inside of the body element that contains your 95%-width elements and place the footer outside of that container.
I am not sure of which method is more reliable, however.
Have You tried to wrap existing 'header'component by other 'wrapper' component (div, span, etc.)? Example:
<div id="wrapper" width="100%"
<div id="header" width="95%">
some header stuff here
</div>
<!-- foo bar -->
<div id="footer" width="100%">
my footer
</div>
</div>

I have 2 complications here, first is that how do I ensure that the footer does not overlap with the content of my articles. Now it seems to overlap the things above it and I can't seem to make the scrollbar with overflow: auto;
Also, how do I make the <hr>tag work becuase now it seems to mess up my entire flexbox and it only hovers above the first contact footer detail.
Thanks a lot for all your help!!!
#footer {
position: absolute;
left: 20%;
bottom: 0%;
width: 50%;
height: 20%;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.contact_footer {
margin-left: 20%;
}
<footer>
<div id="footer">
<div class="container">
<div class="contact_footer">
<hr>
<h3>Contact</h3>
<address>
info
</address>
</div>
<div class="contact_footer">
<h3>Address</h3>
<address>
info
</address>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</footer>
If you position anything absolutely, it is removed from the normal layout. If you don't want it to overlap with anything below it, you need to make sure there is nothing below it. This is not a tweak for your footer, but for your content.
Try something like this (selectors must be replaced with yours):
#content {
margin-bottom: 20vh;
}
20vh are 20% of the height of the screen, which might to be the size of your footer (your code doesn't make it clear what element your footer is positioned in).
Do one thing, for second problem
use pseudo class ':first-child' for only first footer content css and use 'border-top' style property instead of 'hr' tag
.contact_footer:first-child address{border-bottom:1px solid black;}
To start off I'm relatively new to CSS, Bootstrap and HTML. I want to position a responsive element at the bottom of the screen.
So I have this code which makes it behave responsively:
<div class="col-sm-12">
test
</div>
But how do I get it to stick to the bottom of the page? I already tried ID/ Class selectors with an absolute position. It moved the element to the bottom, but it wasn't responsive anymore.
One solution might be to wrap the desired element in another div, then target the wrapper element to fix it to the bottom of your screen. Your markup could look like:
<div class="fixed-container">
<div class="col-sm-12"><!--your content here--></div>
</div><!--end .fixed-container-->
And you styles could look like:
.fixed-container {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
}
This would affix the .fixed-container element to the bottom left of the viewport, and would set the width to 100% of the viewport. The layout-specific rules applied to .col-sm-12 would remain intact.
<div id="my-element" class="col-sm-12">
test
</div>
#my-element {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Here is a simple solution to your problem.
Make sure your elements are in a wrapping div. Since you are using Bootstrap, use:
<div class="container-fluid">
Inside this container place your elements/sections including your footer:
<footer class="col-md-12">
Your footer should have the following CSS.
footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px /* Height of your footer */
width: 100%;
}
Here is a fiddle. You can see the footer is at the bottom of the container which has a black border.

In this case,I had created a static footer and the element inside the div like button(which alway at the bottom),I had managed to make the height of the div bigger but found that is no efficient to used while the element inside the div was increased and expended.Is it some suggestion else to make it dynamically?thanks.
The sample output might look like this:
When you say static, do you mean a fixed position at the bottom of the window? If so then whatever your height, e.g. 20px, make that the value of the bottom-padding for the main area, then anything in the main area will be padded equally by the height of the footer and will be seen.
Here is a working model for you on JSFiddle.
In HTML, there are 2 divs, "wrapper" and "footer", like:
<div id="wrapper">
line 1 <br />
</div>
<div id="footer">
footer text
</div>
In CSS:
html, body {
height: 95%;
}
#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -1.5em;
padding-bottom: 1em;
}
#footer {
position: absolute; !important
bottom: 0;
}
Please, consider the following jsFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/mark69_fnd/hwCuB/ (you can find the code after the body of the question).
It represents a trivial example of the classic header, content, footer HTML layout. Notice that:
The content never overlaps with the footer. Resizing the window will finally create a vertical scrollbar rather than move the content over the footer.
There are no redundant scrollbars.
No absolute heights, except of the footer, which may be assumed to be no higher than 2em.
The content height is less than the available height between the header and the footer.
I would like to keep the first three properties, but change the last one, so that the content height is the full height between the header and the footer. And I would like to do so without resorting to javascript.
How can I do so, if at all?
EDIT
The given html and css are just an example. You are free to change them as long as the final result satisfies the conditions of my question.
EDIT2
Apparently, I am not very clear on what I want to achieve with the content. Here is what I have now:
Notice how the content does not extend the full height available to it between the header and the footer.
What I am after is this:
(edited in mspaint, I do not know to do it really)
EDIT3
Added an except clause to the 3rd condition:
except of the footer, which may be assumed to be no higher than 2em.
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yui.yahooapis.com/3.7.3/build/cssreset/reset-min.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="header">
Header goes here.
</div>
<div class="content">
<div class="innerWrapper">
Content goes here.
</div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<div class="status">
Footer goes here.
<div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.container {
position: relative; /* needed for footer positioning*/
margin: 0 auto;
height: auto;
min-height: 100%;
background-color: #ddd;
}
.content {
padding: 0em 0em 2em; /* bottom padding for footer */
background-color: #bbb;
}
.footer {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
bottom: 0; /* stick to bottom */
}
.status, .header {
background-color: #999;
border: solid 1px #000000;
}
There might be couple ways to do this, but the only ways i can think of at the moment all involve setting/knowing the height of your header and footer.
Here is one using display:table http://jsfiddle.net/fLnkf/
There may be other solutions depending on if your requirements allow you to change your html or use CSS3.
hope this helps!
The web page layout of my website look something as follows:
The web page layout of my website look something as follows:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="sidebar">
</div>
<div class="content">
</div>
</div>
<div class="pre-footer">
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>
Css:
body {background:#eaeaea url('../images/bg/sfere.jpg') no-repeat top center fixed;}
.footer {float:left;width:100%;height:67px;background:url('../images/bottom.png') bottom center;bottom:0px;left:0px;}
.container{padding-top:5px;margin-left:100px;margin-right:auto;}
.sidebar {float:left;width:220px;min-height:610px;text-align:center;}
.home {margin:178px 0 0 100px;padding:0 10px 0px 10px;width:800px;float:left;}
.pre-footer {float:left;width:98%;height:100px;position:relative;background:url('../images/pre-footer.png') bottom center;left:15px;bottom:-32px;}
All the elements are appearing fine in layout. However, the problem is when the height of the container is less, the footer elements stick below the container and don't stay in the footer position. Similarly, if I manually fix the height as 600px to make it look like a footer, on browser resize, the footer still stick below the container and doesn't look like a footer.
How do I rectify this problem?
Use fixed position for your footer.
div.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
max-height: 50px; /* change this as needed */
}
and specify a bottom padding to your body to ensure all content is visible when scrolled.
body {
padding-bottom: 50px; /* change this to the max-height given for your footer */
}
