CSS - Docking An Element At The Bottom Of The Page
Hi
I'm trying to set an element at the bottom of the page, but I'm having a little bit of problems with this. I have to following element Code: <style> #footer { height: 30px; border-top: solid 1px #000000; background-color: #eeeeee; } </style> <div id="footer"> Hello world </div> This element should be at the bottom of the page - always. Let's say that the page content's height is 100px. The footer should be placed at the bottom of the page, just above the status bar in the browser. If the page content is longer than the screen resolution (in other words, you'll have to scroll), then the footer will again be placed at the bottom of the page, BUT it will not be visible untill you scroll down - in other words, it's not a layer that is floating above the status bar. Do you have any ideas how this could be done? I tried position: relative; bottom: 30px; but that only placed the footer 30px from the bottom of the content. So if the content ended at 100px, then the footer started at 70px. Can this be done with css or do I have to use javascript? - Kimppa Similar TutorialsHello, Let's say this... I have an element that has a height of 600px. I have an element inside of that element that I want aligned to the very bottom. How could I accomplish this feat? I have a container div that has a height of 500px. My page content only takes up about 300px and I want a copyright notice at the bottom of the page. So I am trying to get the copyright div to bottom align on the container div. In FF, position:absolute;bottom:0; works but that doesn't work in IE which for some reason places the div outside the container div. Any tips on how to do this? Hey guys. You can run an image, a border, text, whatever you want off the top of the page, but can you do it with the bottom of the page. Code: .top { position: relative; left: 0px; top: -75px; } That will of course run an image off the top of the page, but Code: .bottom { position: relative; left: 0px; bottom: -250px; } this line of code will simply but the image relative to the top image and it's completely visible, meaning the user can view the entire image simply by scrolling down. I'm placing my <id>'s in tables right now, but I'm open to whatever. I simply want an image consistently, running off the top of the page and the bottom of the page at all times. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Using mysql and php I gather data belonging to different people and I put together one page for each person. The bottom of each page has a different footer: Quote: <div id="footer">Data...</div> The declaration of style is Quote: <style type="text/css"> #footer { position: fixed; width: 100%; height: 180px; top: auto; right: 0; bottom: 0; left: 0; } </style> The problem is that each page has the same information shown at the bottom. However if I check the source code it shows different data for each bottom of page. Help! Hi all, I am in the early stages of developing a new website and really cant understand why there is a space between the browser window and the container div. Here is the code I have used: html, body { padding: 0; margin: 0; background-color: #D3D3D3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: #000000; } #page-container { margin-top: 0; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 0; background-image:url('back.jpg'); background-repeat:repeat-y; text-align: center; width: 800px; } I have tried all sorts of variations but nothing will get the page-contaner div to go flush with the top and bottom of the browser window! (I have used this code many times before and it always works, even sites I have stored locally on my machine using this look fine?!?!?) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm using CSS to create a gradient, and all is well except for the bottom of the page: http://www.area51entertainment.co/gradient_problem.png For some reason it's placing a red bar at the bottom of the gradient. Any ideas why? http://www.area51entertainment.co/index.php EDIT: Fixed using the following: Code: background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; ok basically this is an accessibility thing, i dont want users (disabled) to read the links first page after page and i have read that i can place the links at the bottom but style them with css so they appear on top. i am trying to do something like this but my page just gets messed up if i move the links to below. page layout: Code: <div> //overall <div>//top> <div>side Links/menu <div>contents <div>footer Hello Trying to position an image at the bottom of my webpage which: a) will always stay at the bottom of the page regardless of length (page length not window height so the position: fixed is not quite what I'm looking for) b) will not slide on top or under divs on my page (what position: absolute does) but instead stop moving up once it reaches content above it and the scrollbar appears (as tables do) c) I can layer divs on top of so far this is as close as I've got: in the html <!-- container for site info --> <div id="container"> <!-- other content in divs here --> <!-- other content in divs here --> <!-- footer for bottom image --> <div id="footer"> <!-- footer details, who / when / copyright --> <div id="footerdetails"> details here </div> <!-- footer details, who / when / copyright --> </div> <!-- footer for bottom image --> </div> and in the css #container { position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 750px; height: 100%; } #footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; height: 230px; width: 750px; background-image: url(../images/footer.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: bottom left; } #footerdetails { position: relative; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; padding: 9px 0px 10px 70px; top: 195px; width: 680px; text-align: left; voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; } I know I'm sort of answering my question above (tables) but I've seen this done with divs, just can't get the right combination of css - anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks in advnace. a+ gar I have a div that uses overflow:scroll to allow a large amount of text to fit into a small space. Is there a way to make it so that when this div is loaded, it will scroll to the bottom of its contents instead of starting at the top by default? Thanks for any help. Hello, i created a site called knowledgeocity.com and it looks fine in Firefox, but in IE7, there is extra space at the bottom between the logo on the right side and the footer, does anyone know how to fix that? I tried margin bottom, but did not work. thank you Greetings, My example page is located here. As you can see I'm having issues on the bottom of the page. I believe I know what is causing the issue, just not how to fix it. I need it only to work in IE and at a resolution of 1024x768 and higher. I have the footer outside of the other wrappers which are set to 100% height. But wrapper_04, which does not include the header, seems to be extending past the footer the same height as the header because it is trying to be the same height as the other parent wrapper elements? Any thoughts on how I can fix this using just CSS? I do have some js which sets the height of the content_wrapper so the background image extends the full height (yellow line image on the right of the page), but it should not be affecting the rest of the page. Thanks in advance for any assistance! I am testing a three column layout with a header and a footer using only CSS. Ordinarily it works fine but when the center column has less height than the left or right columns (due to amount of content in each) then the footer overlaps the left or right column as it positions itself to just below the center column. Can anyone figure out why? I am baffled since the footer has an absolute position of left: 0px and bottom: 0px; Here is my HTML: Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>page title</title> <style type="text/css"> body { margin:0px; padding:0px; height: 100%; } .left-col { position: absolute; width: 150px; top: 130px; left: 0px; padding-left: 3px; z-index: 2; } .right-col { position: absolute; width: 150px; top: 120px; right: 0; padding-right: 3px; z-index: 1; overflow: hidden; clear: both; } .center-col { position: relative; min-width: 300px; min-height: 100%; height: 100%; z-index: 3; top: 140px; margin: 0px 160px 150px 170px; text-align: left; padding:5px; } .heading { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; } .footer { position: absolute; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 0px; z-index: 3; padding-top: 25px; margin: 0px; display: block; } .footer-bar { width: auto; padding:10px 3px 3px 0px; clear: both; background-color: gray; vertical-align: bottom; text-align: center; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="center-col"> center content<br /> center content<br /> center content<br /> center content<br /> </div> <div class="left-col"> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> left content<br /><br /> </div> <div class="right-col"> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> right content<br /><br /> </div> <div class="heading"> head content </div> <div class="footer"> <div class="footer-bar">page bottom</div> </div> </body> </html> Hello everyone I have a problem with keeping a footer at the bottom of a page.

This is the test page http://midnighttempest.com/layouttest.html as you can see at the bottom of the page there is a huge gap under the text which i can't get rid off. Anyone help? Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've opened up a .css file so forgive me. I have a couple of questions about this partiular site. It's a test site I'm workig on... http://www.karenwilliamson.com/joom2/ I would like if possible to fix the footer in a fixed position and not have it rise and fall according to the amount of content on each page. Click some of the random links and you'll see what I mean. Also, while I'm here I can't figure out how to adjust the spacing in the main content area to be more uniform between IE7 and FF. It seems to my novice eyes that it should be controlled by Code: table.contentpaneopen Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but I'm sure there is a way to make it more uniform among the two browsers? Thanks for any input Rob Hi, I've just reworked my site, and I'm having trouble keeping the footer at the bottom of the page. my site stylesheet (see div#footer) Any ideas? I've tried setting body min-height (and height for ie) to 100% and setting position:absolute; bottom:0px; but that didn't work. |
