CSS - Footer Fills Window Below Content
Here's how the footer looks now:
And here's the desired result: Any ideas? It'll have to be cross-browser friendly (even IE6, god help me). Thanks! Similar TutorialsWhen content exceeds the window size, the fixed footer covers it. The center div has a min-width, the right div covers it when the window is resized to smaller than the min. (Also, center div drops in IE). I have googled these issues and searched the archives. I've tried many different techniques for getting these things in order, and this is the closest I've gotten so far. What I want: 1.A footer that sticks to the bottom of the viewport if there is not enough content AND stays below the container when the container is longer than the viewport. 2. The center div to be liquid with a min-fixed width and the right div to move along the edge of the center div and not cover it when viewport is sized smaller than the center div's min width. Here is a simplified version of the HTML (none of the extra divs that are used to make rounded corners) Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>Troubleshooting</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="layout8.css" type="text/css" /> <link rel="stylesheet" href="round.css" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="header"> <div id="masthead"></div> <div id="topnav"><div class="searchbar">Search</div> <div class="homebar"><span>Home </span></div></div> </div> <div id="container"> <div id="left"></div> <div id="right"></div> <div id="content"></div> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> </div> <div id="footer"></div> </body> </html> I think there's too much CSS to post here, but everything can be found at: www. observera. com/troubleshootingpage/index. htm CSS @ layout.css and round.css I appreciate any help you can offer Em Hi, For some reason the bottom of my content is getting chopped off on some pages. For instance, the Bookmark icon and neighboring links are getting cut off at the bottom of this page when viewing with Google Chrome: http://www.sustainablelivingcolorad...ble-living-101/ Any ideas? Thanks. I'm sure this has been asked, and I've googled for help without finding anything that works. I'm redesigning a site from html/tables -> css and need to keep a footer at the bottom of each page (after the content, not stuck to the bottom of the window). Being pretty unfamiliar with css positioning I'm having a bit of trouble. Site is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles CSS is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles / stylesheets / hbstyle . css As is everything works, but when I try to add a footer it sits on top of the content. Help, anyone?? Hello All, I am trying to put together what seems like it should be a simple css layout but it just is not cooperating. Thought maybe somebody could point out what I am doing wrong. The site is southernshades.net If you shrink the browser and scroll down the footer goes on top of the content area. I am going crazy trying to figure out how to get the footer to stay at the bottom. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and save my sanity. Thanks. Suppose this: ----- Header Div Content Dive Footer Div ----- Is there a way to force a footer div to the bottom of the window even when there isn't enough content above to fill the window? Maybe some way to "pad" the content div? I fixed this issue ages ago on another template and now I can't remember what sorted it. My footer sits at the bottom (or drops down if the page is longer). When the page is maximised it looks fine but when the browser (IE) is not maximised it moves up 1px and you can see the background behind it. Any ideas? Thanks. hello everyone, i've been pulling my hairs on this one. i have a layout designed and i want to produce the html and CSS. what i wish is that the layout fills the screen by stretching towards the right and bottom, according to what's inside the "content" area. my problem is having the left side stretch vertically as needed to display the content , so that it joins the footer. the structure of the page blocks would be: (see attached img) any idea how to do this ? please help, it's urgent !! thanks a great lot, alx Hey gang, I'm sure this has been asked many times, but i cannot find the words to search for this. Luckily, I'm sure it is a quick fix. I'm not great with CSS, but I feel I have a strong understanding. However, I must not completely understand divs, because when I try to add padding to this "right content" div, it pushes itself behind the footer div (the bright green box): The box on the left is the "left-content", the box on the right is "right-content." Each of the boxes are floated left and right, respectively, and they are both in a "container" div that centers them. How can I make the footer div just be pushed down with content is added to either the right/left-content div? I can add a bunch of "<br />s after the last bit of content, and the footer moves down, but I feel it is cleaner to just add 20x padding. Any help is greatly appreciated! http:// 192.168.0.253/ index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50&Itemid=67 I need for the content to stack in front of content (as it currently does) so the content appears to scroll behind it. BUT - I need for the footer to sit at least below the fold so that it isn't so obtrusive. I'm tired of googling and can't spend any more hours trying to get it to work!! It's an artisteer template, joomla. Help? THANK YOU!! Hi, I am generating what should be a simple css layout. I have a header, some left content (which is comprised of layers that hold an image and some over the top to form a kind of navigation tablet), some content to the right of that for text, and finally a footer. Bog standard design... The problem I have is that the content to the right of the left content is sat below both the left content and the footer currently. What it should be doing is sitting to the right of the left content and where the text 'grows' push the footer down the page: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

Thanks, G Is it possible to get my content to stick to my footer? I have a sticky footer at the bottom of my page and I would like the content to always bee 100% of the page and sitting right on top of the footer. I been messing around with different things for hours and nothing I seem to do will get my content box to stay stuck to the footer at the bottom of my page. Here is a link to the site printing.ou.edu/new-index.html This is what I am trying to get printing.ou.edu/Draft3.png Thanks for your help :-) (EDIT) I have Solved this problem sadly I had to use Java Script to get it done but it works. Here is the Java Script for anyone else trying to do something like this. Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
contentHeight();
}
window.onresize = function() {
contentHeight();
}
function contentHeight() {
if (document.getElementById) {
var windowHeight = getWindowHeight();
var headerHeight = document.getElementById('header').offsetHeight;
var footerHeight = document.getElementById('footer').offsetHeight;
var pushHeight = document.getElementById('push').offsetHeight;
var menuHeight = document.getElementById('menu').offsetHeight;
var contentElement = document.getElementById('content');
var contentbgElement = document.getElementById('content-bg');
contentElement.style.height = (windowHeight - (headerHeight + footerHeight + pushHeight + menuHeight)) + 'px';
contentbgElement.style.height = (windowHeight - (headerHeight + footerHeight + pushHeight + menuHeight)) + 'px';
}
}
function getWindowHeight() {
var windowHeight = 0;
if (typeof(window.innerHeight) == 'number') {
windowHeight=window.innerHeight;
}
else {
if (document.documentElement && document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
windowHeight=document.documentElement.clientHeight ;
}
else {
if (document.body && document.body.clientHeight) {
windowHeight=document.body.clientHeight;
}
}
}
return windowHeight;
}
</script>
See you all around I have a container div which includes a #header div, a left-floated #content div, a #right div, and a #footer div. The #content div has a background image that does not want to extend all the way down within the div to snuggly join the footer in any IE browser. I've tried the Holly hack, adding a line-height, relative positioning but to no avail. The stylesheet is embedded in the html file. Here's the link: http://www.emaycreations.net/BuildWebsiteIII/Week6/finalexamPractice.html It looks great in NN, FF and Opera but neither IE 5 nor 6 displays the page correctly. Can anyone help? Mari-Anne in Montana Hi I'm having a bit of trouble with a DIV/CSS layout - 2 DIVs are inside a 100% height 100% width container DIV. The first (top) DIV is the content and the second (bottom) DIV being a 100% width 240px height footer DIV. I can make the footer stick to the bottom of the page and display fine no problem, however, I am having trouble getting the content div to fill only the area above the footer. If I specify a 100% height for it then it extends the entire height of the page and content disappears behind the footer. Plus, I want to absolutely center the content in the space above the footer, not the absolute center of the whole page, which is all i am acheiving with 100% height! Basically, I need the content DIV to extend 100% then subtract the 240px height of the footer - I suspect it's not wise to mix px and %, however. I have attached an image to help with my probably confusing explanation! I do have a workaround using tables, which I would ideally like to avoid, particularly as it does not support IE6/7 browsers. If a solution can be acheived which uses JavaScript to format the DIVs, then I am open to any suggestions anyone may have. Thanks R I'm using The Man in Blue's "footerStickAlt" code to ensure a footer sticks at the bottom of the page even with *short* content. No problem there til I resize my browser window. When the browser window shortened and I scroll down, the footer has jumped up and is concealing part of the menu. Yikes. Pages where the content is longer than the menu are fine, so I haven't uploaded them. It's only when content is shorter than the menu that this issue arises ~ which is the exact issue it's supposed to be tackling! Flaw/s in the code? I've already tried ripping out the horizontal min-widths and it seems there's no conflict there. From what I can make out, it's just a matter between the menu and the footer.... altho, when the browser is shortened in the way I've described the actual footer moves higher than it should be. Still, can't believe it's blueman at fault here. Must be something I've missed or tagged wrong. Or maybe it just doesn't work with this kind of menu? For reference, Blue Man's original code is he http://themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/ Am just hoping the clever folk here will have some advice. I've burnt the whole day on this to no avail :| I have created a CSS site that has a footer spanning the bottom of the viewport and whilst I have managed to glue it to the bottom I have another div that is behind it even though I think I have set-up the container properly. The troublesome page is http://www.cimbian.co.uk/BognorArchers/recurve.htm and you will see that the bottom of the text in the main pane is obscured by the footer. Basically I have a meta-wrapper for the whole page: and then have the main content within it. Following on from the content I have the footer and then I close the meta-wrapper. Something like this: <div id="meta_wrapper"> <div id="BA_main_content_area" class="clearfix"> <div id="BA_Main_Full_Width"> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </div> My CSS for this is: div#meta_wrapper { width: 760px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; background-color: yellowgreen; text-align: left; position: relative; min-height: 100%; height: 100%; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family: inherit; } html>body #meta_wrapper { height: auto; } div#BA_main_content_area {width:760px; align: center; margin-top: 0; margin-right: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left: 0; font-size: 0.85em } div#BA_Main_Full_Width { border:3px inset yellow; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 0.85em; text-align: justify; position: relative; width: 500px; margin: 10px 30px 0px 10px; padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFCC; float: left; } div#footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0; width:760px; padding:4px 0; font-size: 0.6em; text-align: center; background-color: white; /* Blue */ border-top:1px solid yellow; border-bottom:2px solid yellow; margin-top:1.5em;} /* orange border */ The problem occurs in IE and in Netscape so although I have box-model problems due to IE in Firefox the problem is not limited to IE. As far as I can tell from much web-reading and a couple of books this should do it. Any thoughts? PS: I also posted this in the MS FP forum as I built the page in FP but have not yet found a solution so please don't yell if you have seen the post there too ;-) |
