CSS - Floating Footer
I'm Having problems getting my footer to stay below the content of my page.
here's the link to my page. http://www.netgamegurus.com/ main page html Code: <body> <div class="container"> <div class="header"> <?php include_once("pages/header.php"); ?> </div> <div class="main_body"> <?php include_once("pages/index_body.php"); ?> </div> </div> <div class="clearfooter"> </div> <div class="footer"> <?php include_once("pages/footer.php"); ?> </div> </body> </html> main page CSS Code: body { background-color: #FFFFFF; text-align:center; } body,html { margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; } a:link { text-decoration: none; } a:visited { text-decoration: none; } a:hover { text-decoration: underline; } a:active { text-decoration: none; } .container { position:relative; padding:0px; margin:0px; margin-bottom: -150px; width:100%; height:100%; background-color:#666; } .header { } main_body { } .clearfooter { clear:both; height:150px; } .footer { position:relative; height:150px; margin: -150px auto 0 auto; } index_body html Code: <body> <div class="left_col"> <?php include_once("left_col_index.php"); ?> </div> <div class="right_col"> <?php include_once("right_col_index.php"); ?> </div> </body> </html> index_body CSS Code: .left_col { position:absolute; padding:0px; margin:0px; top:175px; left:0px; width:150px; height:100%; background-color:#00F; } .right_col { position:absolute; padding:0px; margin:0px; top:175px; left:150px; width:857px; height:105%; background-color:#0C3 } I've looked up a ton of info on this on google, but nothing seems to help. Anybody got an idea on this? Similar TutorialsI am trying to get a footer to position properly on all pages of a site. Because of some absolute positioning I have done using CSS, I resorted to pushing the footer to be formatted that way also. Even though the absolute position is at 670 it is off the bottom of a 1024 x 768 standard webpage for some reason. What I would like to do is get the footer just to display after the last element on the page but I understand that isnt possible since I am using CSS to absolutely position things. The code is something like this: Code: <title>Program Title Stuff</title> <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body background="#ffffff"> <img src="images/top-banner.jpg"> <div id="menubar"> <script src="bubblemenu.js"></script> </div> <p id="separator"> <img src="images/pagesep.jpg"> </p> <p id="title">Section Title Goes Here</p> <div id="contentblock"> { some content goes here such as tables or text } </div> <?php include("footer.inc"); ?> </body> </html> The footer.inc has just your typical links with a separator. The CSS to go with all this is basically font, color, and size. Most elements are absolutely positioned...here is the representative CSS: Code: body { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: none; } a:link {color:#6C9999; text-decoration:none}; a:visited {color:#990099; text-decoration:none} a:hover {color:#CC3333; text-decoration:none} #menubar { position: absolute; left: 25px; top: 95px; border: none; text-decoration: none; } #separator { position: absolute; left: 250px; top: 65px; } #title { font-family: PenultimateLight, Tahoma, "Times New Roman", "MS Sans Serif"; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; color: #3A657B; position: absolute; left: 275px; top: 75px; } #contentblock { font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; color: #000000; position: absolute; left: 275px; top: 110px; height: 500px; width: 650px; } #footer3 { position: absolute; top: 550px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; left: 285px; } #footer4 { position: absolute; top: 565px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; left: 370px; font-style: normal; } I'd like to get away from absolutely placing the footer, as the content on each page varies in length. But I cant just center the footer, because other elements are blocked absolute and the footer ends up at the top of the page! Any suggestions? Thanks, Kkathman I seem to recall seeing this trick, but now when I am looking around for examples I can't find any. What I want is a footer div (with the standard footer links, and email address) which will always be docked on the bottom of the viewing area of a browser. So if I scroll up and down the webpage / or resize the browser window, the footer will always appear, visible at the bottom of the window. Any ideas, examples? Ed Here's the html and css for http://www.pxgo.com/lifepak-prime.php - What I really need help with is aligning the footer (I know absolute positioning is bad for me, but relative doesn't work either) and floating my image (which for some reason vanished once I added the floatleft class). Thanks in advance for any help!

The Footer (which currently consists just of the validation images) is suppossed to be at the bottom of the page... It works in IE except there is a little line between the images (it is also part of the link...), and it doesn't work at all in FF... how do I get rid of the line in IE, and what do I need to add or change in my css to get it to be viewed properly in FF? Thanks Bryan Hi Everyone, I've been doing modest CSS for a while now and feel like I have a good grasp of it, and generally find a way of doing what I want. But, this has always bugged me and I need to understand what is going on... I think it's a question of Floating. This is in reference to http://www.arabellamusic.co.uk I want the blog posts to be on the left, and some other content on the right. How is the best way to go about doing this? You can check my source, but this was my thinking: Code: HTML <div class='inner'> <div class='left'> BLOG PHP HERE </div> <div class='right'> SOME OTHER STUFF HERE </div> </div> And the CSS: .inner { width:788px; } .left { float:left; width:50%; } .right { float:left; width:50%; } If you grab my stylesheet and my source, you will see that I have a couple more things in there, but I don't think they could be affecting the rest (text-align etc...) So, am I doing this wrong? I have floated columns in other websites this way and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Incidentally, once it would only work when I set 49% to each, I was assuming this was something to do with the box model I read about, but wasn't too sure. I will try not to play around with the site too much until I get a reply or two, but a few things may jump around as I try stuff! Thanks in advance... James hi, i am a total newbie with css and trying to create a floating divider. an example can be seen at www.payjunction.com. does anyone know a tutorial on how to create one? thanks for the help in advance I have 3 tables in a div. I have two of the tables one on top of the other. I wanted to place the third table to the left of the bottom table. So I placed the second table relative and left -50px. I placed the third with position absolute, top -70px and float right to achieve this layout. Is there a better way of doing this out of curiousity? I currently have the following layout Code: <table> <tr> <td></td> <td></td> </tr> </table> how do i go about making the same layout but using CSS. Each <td> is 50% wide Hi, Can someone help me with why the following header bar doesn't work in Firefox? It just shows the very top of the bar with the two other divs inside of it. Code: <div class="cmsHeader"> <div style="float: left;">Page Name</div> <div style="float: right;"><a href="" title='Add Page'><img src='images/icons/file_(add)_16x16.gif' border='0' alt='Add Page'></a></div> </div> .cmsHeader{ background: #809096; padding: 5px; width: 98%; color: #FFFFFF; } .cmsHeader a{ color: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none; } .cmsHeader a:hover{ text-decoration: underline; } Learning CSS and trying to emulate the following table: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Text 1 |----------------| | | Text 2 | Inner box text| | | Text 3 |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| I can get a nested div to work vertically but not horizontally. I'm trying: Code: div#container { float: left } div#title { float: right } <div id="container"> hello<br>hello <div id="title"> Text 1<br /> Text 2 </div> </div> Which is producing: Code: |--------------------------------------| | Hello | | Hello | | |----------------| | | | Text 1 | | | | Text 2 | | | |----------------| | |--------------------------------------| Perhaps a positioning thing which I don't understand yet? It's not homework so you don't have to do it for me, but rather you could just point to knowledge sources.... Tx! I've got a really weird situation happening in IE7, and I can't figure out what I could possibly be doing wrong. I've got two divs on a page - one floating left, the other right. Each div contains two fieldsets, none of which are floated. This is the general setup: HTML Code: <div id="colRight"> <fieldset id="serviceArea"> ... </fieldset> <fieldset id="defineArea"> ... </fieldset> </div> <div id="colLeft"> <fieldset id="profile"> ... </fieldset> <fieldset id="profileBio"> ... </fieldset> </div> CSS Code: #colLeft { float:left; margin-right:15px; } #colRight { float:right; } fieldset { padding:0 1em 1em 1em; margin-bottom:1em; } fieldset#defineArea, fieldset#serviceArea { float:none; width:230px; padding:0 10px 10px 10px; } Everything lines up perfectly in IE8, FF3.6 and Chrome, but in IE7 (actually, IE8 in Compatibility Mode) #serviceArea floats to the left of #defineArea (or vice-versa) in #colRight, and #colLeft gets pushed down below the now-too-wide #colRight. Since fieldsets are block-level elements, how can they be floating, especially when I explicitly set them to float:none? There's a stripped-down version of the page at http://www.weddingpastorsusa.org/design2/test_editform.html. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hello, can anyone help me with this? I'm having trouble floating some divs and I can't find the problem. 1. navigation should be aligned with the bottom of the h1 logo 2. the content div should come next to the list of brands. The content div should overlap the black bg at the top. www. claeysconsult . be / misskado / index2.html Thanks in advance... Ok. So after some one i don't know on a website i was reading told me i should replace my tables with CSS i decided to listen to them. Now the website's top bar should look like this: http://www.leeksoftware.co.uk And i decided to do each box as a DIV. BUT! I can't get them all in a line. I can get the yellow one to the right of the long one but then i cant get the rest in the line. So far the CSS is: Code: div.logo { height: 70px; width: 618px; background-color: #476cD9; float: left; } div.home { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #E29942; margin-left: 619px; float: left; } div.soft { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #CC3333; margin-left: 719px; } div.tuto { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #006666; margin-left: 819px; } div.cont { height: 70px; width: 100px; background-color: #254D78; margin-left: 919px; } I tired adding float left to all of them but that made them go diagonal. Can any one help? Thanks Matt I saw this appealing menu from a css contest page and i've studied the code over and over again but i can't seem to get the same effect as this person has done. He has created a menu that just floats while the screen is able to scroll up and down. the site is : http://contest.prestontalk.com/index/FluidFixed/0/4/1/ if anyone knows how this effect is done, let me know. thanks! Hi I use DIV to display image thumbnails in a row from php loop. for each div containing image I have set the attribute float: left; so that multiple images can be displayed in parallel. Now the problem is that if I have a single image then there is no need to show it on the extreme left of the page but in the center, but the thumbnail is displayed on the extreme left, here is my code till now, PHP Code: echo "<div style=' text-align: center; border: solid 1px #993333; padding: 1px; margin: 2px; float: left; margin-left: 6%; '>"; echo "<div style=' text-align: center; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;'> <a href='/$path' rel=\"lightbox\"><img src='/print_resize_image.php?image=$path&type=$extension' width=200 height=150 border=0 ></a> </div></div>"; I have a DIV element in a menu system that pops up when you hover over the parent menu. Everything in the menu works fine, however I need to embeed the navigation including the menu into a frame where the menu sits flush with the bottom of the frame it's in and when you mouse over the parent element the DIV that pops up is hidden by the frame below it. Like so: --- frame 1 ------ <content> <menu> --- frame 2 ------ <main content> ... ... ------------------ Is there anyway with CSS to tell the DIV to float above the bottom frame? I'm trying to float my navigation to the right side of the screen, but not messing up the order of the links. (left to right as in 1.2.3.4.5). The problem I'm having is the links go right, but so does the order of the links (they show right to left 5.4.3.2.1). Here's the CSS: Code: ul#nav { width: 890px; font-size: 0.70em; list-style: none; padding: 0; margin-top: 3em; float: left; clear: both; } ul#nav li { background-color: #0776a0; text-align: left; float: right; text-transform: uppercase; border-right: 2px solid #279bd5; display: block; } ul#nav li a, ul#nav li a:visited { display: block; padding: 0.4em 4em 0.4em 0.4em; color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; } ul#nav li a:hover { color: #FFF; background-color: #279bd5; text-decoration: none; } ul#nav li a.current, ul#nav li a.current:visited, ul#nav li a.current:hover { color: #FFF; text-decoration: none; } And here's the html Code: <ul id="nav"> <li><a href="Home" title="Home">Home</a></li> <li><a href="Example" title="Example">Example</a></li> </ul> Will also post website with the example if asked. I have a web page in which I have a table and within that table I have a sub table with two columns. I am using css and allow visitors to move the first column from right to left (they both are different sizes). I now have a need the text in column one be wrapped under column two (as you can do with pictures in say MS word). I can't write the text ahead of time at the bottom of column two as that column floats from left to right -- meaning that the text that should go underneath would be different each time. I assume it is not possible with tables to do such a thing, but thought to ask the experts to see if it is possible or there is another logical way of accomplishing it. I could simply call two different files based on the right-float and left-float and right text accordingly in both files, but to me that does not sound such a great idea. Hi, I'm getting very frustrated trying to float in image to the right and vertically aligned in a TD cell. This is a actually a vBulletin Forum Home Page and I want to display an image in the forum description. With the inline CSS below I keep getting a new line which I don't want. I want the text "Forum description goes here" with the image vertically aligned on the right hand side of the TD cell. Code: <td class="alt1Active" align="left" id="f34"> <div> <a href="http://www.myurl.co.uk/forums/test_forum/"><strong>Test Forum</strong></a> </div> <div class="smallfont"> Forum description goes here. <!-- *** THIS IS THE BIT I HAVE CONTROL OVER *** --> <div align="right" valign="top" style="float:right;"> <a href="http://www.myurl.co.uk"> <img src="http://www.myurl.co.uk/picture.jpg" style="border:0px;"> </a> </div> <!-- ****** --> </div> </td> hey I am trying to get this sub menu floating on the rollover of a list item. Here's my HTML: Code: <body> <div id="banner"> </div> <div id="leftmenu"> <ul> <li>List 1</li> <li><a href="">List 2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3</a> <ul> <li><a href="">List 3.1</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.2</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.3</a></li> <li><a href="">List 3.4</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="">List 4</a></li> <li><a href="">List 5</a></li> <li><a href="">List 6</a></li> <li><a href="">List 7</a></li> <li><a href="">List 8</a></li> <li><a href="">List 9</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="maincontent"> CONTENT </div> </body> and this CSS: Code: #leftmenu { position: absolute; margin: 0px; top: 120px; left: 0px; width: 147px; height: 800px; background-color: #cccc66; font-size: 10px; font-weight: bold; } ul { padding: 0; margin: 0; list-style: none; } ul li { color: #FFFFFF; display: block; background-color: #FF0000; margin-bottom: 1px; text-align: right; font-weight: bold; } ul li a { text-decoration: none; color: #FFFFFF; } ul li a:hover { color: #000000; } ul li ul { display: none; position: absolute; top: 200px; left: 100px; } #maincontent { position: absolute; z-index: 0; left: 147px; top: 120px; height: 381px; width: 100%; padding-top: 10px; padding-left: 10px; margin-top: 0px; margin-left: 0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; } so yeah, I am struggling at this point, I have looked at a reference that someone gave me last time I brought up the issue, but can't get it working, if you can spot why, help would be appreciated, not having much luck, thinking maybe a syntax thing(?), not sure...HELP!! kr. |
