I have a website here.
Viewed in a desktop browser, the black menu bar properly extends only to edge of the window, since the body has overflow-x:hidden.
In any mobile browser, whether Android or iOS, the black menu bar displays its full width, which brings whitespace on the right of the page. As far as I can tell, this whitespace isn't even a part of the html or body tags.
Even if I set the viewport to a specific width in the <head>:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1100, initial-scale=1">
The site expands to the 1100px but still has the whitespace beyond the 1100.
What am I missing? How do I keep the viewport to 1100 and cut off the overflow?
Creating a site wrapper div inside the <body> and applying the overflow-x:hidden to the wrapper instead of the <body> or <html> fixed the issue.
It appears that browsers that parse the <meta name="viewport"> tag simply ignore overflow attributes on the html and body tags.
Note: You may also need to add position: relative to the wrapper div.
try
html, body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
instead of just
body {
overflow-x:hidden
}
VictorS's comment on the accepted answer deserves to be it's own answer because it's a very elegant solution that does, indeed work. And I'll add a tad to it's usefulness.
Victor notes adding position:fixed works.
body.modal-open {
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
And indeed it does. However, it also has a slight side-affect of essentially scrolling to the top. position:absolute resolves this but, re-introduces the ability to scroll on mobile.
If you know your viewport (my plugin for adding viewport to the <body>) you can just add a css toggle for the position.
body.modal-open {
// block scroll for mobile;
// causes underlying page to jump to top;
// prevents scrolling on all screens
overflow: hidden;
position: fixed;
}
body.viewport-lg {
// block scroll for desktop;
// will not jump to top;
// will not prevent scroll on mobile
position: absolute;
}
I also add this to prevent the underlying page from jumping left/right when showing/hiding modals.
body {
// STOP MOVING AROUND!
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: scroll !important;
}
As #Indigenuity states, this appears to be caused by browsers parsing the <meta name="viewport"> tag.
To solve this problem at the source, try the following:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, minimum-scale=1">.
In my tests this prevents the user from zooming out to view the overflowed content, and as a result prevents panning/scrolling to it as well.
This is the simplest solution to solve horisontal scrolling in Safari.
html, body {
position:relative;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
body{
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden !important;
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
works on iOS9
Keep the viewport untouched: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
Assuming you would like to achieve the effect of a continuous black bar to the right side: #menubar shouldn't exceed 100%, adjust the border radius such that the right side is squared and adjust the padding so that it extends a little more to the right. Modify the following to your #menubar:
border-radius: 30px 0px 0px 30px;
width: 100%; /*setting to 100% would leave a little space to the right */
padding: 0px 0px 0px 10px; /*fills the little gap*/
Adjusting the padding to 10px of course leaves the left menu to the edge of the bar, you can put the remaining 40px to each of the li, 20px on each side left and right:
.menuitem {
display: block;
padding: 0px 20px;
}
When you resize the browser smaller, you would find still the white background: place your background texture instead from your div to body. Or alternatively, adjust the navigation menu width from 100% to lower value using media queries. There are a lot of adjustments to be made to your code to create a proper layout, I'm not sure what you intend to do but the above code will somehow fix your overflowing bar.
Creating a site wrapper div inside the body and applying the overflow->x:hidden to the wrapper INSTEAD of the body or html fixed the issue.
This worked for me after also adding position: relative to the wrapper.
No previous single solution worked for me, I had to mix them and got the issue fixed also on older devices (iphone 3).
First, I had to wrap the html content into an outer div:
<html>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">... old html goes here ...</div>
</body>
</html>
Then I had to apply overflow hidden to the wrapper, because overflow-x was not working:
#wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
and this fixed the issue.
Adding a wrapper <div> around the entirety of your content will indeed work. While semantically "icky", I added an div with a class of overflowWrap right inside the body tag and then set set my CSS like this:
html, body, .overflowWrap {
overflow-x: hidden;
}
Might be overkill now, but works like a charm!
I encountered the same problem with Android devices but not iOS devices. Managed to resolve by specifying position:relative in the outer div of the absolutely positioned elements (with overflow:hidden for outer div)
I solved the issue by using overflow-x:hidden; as follows
#media screen and (max-width: 441px){
#end_screen { (NOte:-the end_screen is the wrapper div for all other div's inside it.)
overflow-x: hidden;
}
}
structure is as follows
1st div end_screen >> inside it >> end_screen_2(div) >> inside it >> end_screen_2.
'end_screen is the wrapper of end_screen_1 and end_screen_2 div's
As subarachnid said overflow-x hidden for both body and html worked
Here's working example

easiest way to solve this , add
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0">
I had tried many ways from replies in this topic, mostly works but got some side-effect like if I use overflow-x on body,html it might slow/freeze the page when users scroll down on mobile.
use position: fixed on wrapper/div inside the body is good too, but when I have a menu and use Javascript click animated scroll to some section, It's not working.
So, I decided to use touch-action: pan-y pinch-zoom on wrapper/div inside the body. Problem solved.
I've just been working on this for a few hours, trying various combinations of things from this and other pages. The thing that worked for me in the end was to make a site wrapper div, as suggested in the accepted answer, but to set both overflows to hidden instead of just the x overflow. If I leave overflow-y at scroll, I end up with a page that only scrolls vertically by a few pixels and then stops.
#all-wrapper {
overflow: hidden;
}
Just this was enough, without setting anything on the body or html elements.
Setting overflow-x to 'clip' instead of 'hidden' also prevents unwanted scrolling on touch-devices, with wacom-pens, with shift-scrollwheel or any other programmatic scrolling. On the downside, it also prevents programmatic scrolling with javascript.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/overflow#clip
The only way to fix this issue for my bootstrap modal (containing a form) was to add the following code to my CSS:
.modal {
-webkit-overflow-scrolling: auto!important;
}
step 1: set position to fixed to the element that goes out from the viewport. In my case it is:
.nav-links {
position:fixed;
right:0px;
background-color:rgba(0,0,0, 0.8);
height:85vh;
top:8vh;
display:flex;
flex-direction:column;
align-items: center;
width:40%;
transform: translateX(100%);
transition: transform 0.5s ease-in;
}
Step2: add a css property to body and html as:
body, html{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
I didn't add any wrapper. Only these two steps worked for me. The project I am working on is an angular project.
The following works
body,
.innerbodywrapper{
overflow-x: hidden;
position: fixed;
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
Solution that properly work for mobile device with flex positionning top :
html,body {
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
and in web page :
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=0">
Don't forget to positioning this css in the different webpage main divs :
height : auto !important;
html, body{ overflow-x: hidden; position: relative; } Just try like this where you have added the overflow-hidden.

I am facing an issue i really can't understand.
I have a webview (on android and iOS) which can have one of 3 possible sizes depending on where i am showing it. (for example 600 x 50 or 500 x 45)
Using CSS i have managed to make an image always appear to fill 100% of the webview. However there is another element that i have to make it also fill 100% of this container. This element is loaded with the following code:
<div class='amoad_native' data-sid='123456789'></div>
<script src='http://j.amoad.com/js/n.js' type='text/javascript' charset='utf-8'></script>
And i also apply the following CSS to it:
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
left: 0;
top: 0;
But even if i add the width:100% and height:100% it seems completely unaffected by it. The only thing that seems to change its "size" is the viewport:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
But this seems to render differently depending on the device im using.
This is how it looks like on iPhone 5:
And this is how it looks like on iPhone 6s Plus
Both are set using a viewport scale of 0.9. But my goal really is for the PR Box to fully fill its container. (You can see the same image behind because thats just a normal image that i show in case the PR Box couldn't be loaded due to no internet connection or something.
You can try a jquery solution, I am not quite sure what u r trying to achieve but hope this helps.
Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/po6vdyo9/
$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).resize(function() {
// Height will be calculated acording to window height can be changed to whaterver element u require
var docHeight = $(window).outerHeight();
function resizebanner() {
$('#banner').height(docHeight);
}
resizebanner();
})
$(window).trigger('resize');});
Try this:
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
top: 0;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
Use vh and vw:
min-width: 100vw;
min-height: 100vh;
1) Make sure the webview is actually the size you want it to be. Could be that the content is fine but the webview isn't sized/positioned correctly.
2) Ensure that the parent element to amoad_native in the html doc fills the webview area. Set the height and width of this guy.
If you have two child elements and you want them both to fill the parent you should have structure like this:
HTML
<div class="parent">
<div class="child"></div>
<div class="child"></div>
</div>
CSS
.parent {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.child {
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 100%;
width: 100%
}
The parent is relative?
<div class="parent">
<img src="http://static.tumblr.com/a4deb37c05fa96b6128b0e097d45c745/oud8baz/mKQmt73js/tumblr_static_sky_banner.jpg" class="theimage">
<div>
<style>
html,body{
width:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
.parent{
float:left;
position:relative;
float:left;
width:100%;
height:200px;
}
.theimage{
position: absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
z-index: 2;
top: 0;
left: 0;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
</style>
I think you can fix this by applying an old school reset to some targeted css. You probably get some default padding or margin applied by different browsers. Try to apply this:
*{
padding: 0 0 0 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
border: 0 0 0 0;
}
#My_Image{
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
height:100%;
width:100%;
}
There, this should work even if you can't override default padding/margin because the box-sizing property count those as part of height/width.
It seems that you are facing issues with the pixel ratio.
In iPhone 5 the pixel ratio is 2, but in iPhone 6 Plus the pixel ratio is 3. So if the images isn't ready to retina displays you'll obtain a little image in devices with high pixel ratio.
You can use background-size. However, the solutions you'll obtain here will be pure speculation, since you don't share with us the rendered HTML we are unable to help you better.
My suggestion: add this to the box (if the image is a background):
background-size: cover;
width: 100%;
If the image is a <img> tag:
width: 100%;
height: auto;
I was not able to load the resource with that script tag. Here is a banner that always takes up 100% width. My meta tag is slightly different from yours. Maybe that was the issue.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
}
#banner {
position: absolute;
z-index: 2;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<img id="banner" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Ha_Long_bay_%28Vietnam%29_banner_Islands_in_the_bay.png" />
</div>
<script>
var banner = document.getElementById("banner");
banner.style.width = '100%';
</script>
</body>
</html>
I had the same problem with googles trend embed javascript, the script height was not showing the full data I fixed the problem by targeting a div style and all elements inside the div.
I did notice that using the * in CSS does work but the CON of using it alone is if you have a large site with a lot of data it will resize all your elements, not what most people want.
But you can still use the * by targeting a div and anything inside eg. your script tags, this will only resize your script tag and keep the style of your page intact without problems.
HTML Document Head
href="style.css"
I am not sure if it matters much but I used an external style sheet for the resizing of the elements, this may play a crucial part into this working not sure.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
HTML Document Body
DIV
The div helps us style the script tag.
id="target"
We will be using this as our target ID for resizing.
src="script.js"
We will be using an external document, this may or may not matter but I used an external .js file I was having problems with the height and it works fine this way.
<div id="target">
<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</div>
CSS Document
#target
Targets the id of the div tag.

I have div with fixed width.I want to auto scroll(lefta nd right:Hirizontal direction) the text if content of div is more than div width.How can i do this thought css or jquery.Currently div has a class like this..
.divcon{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
height:30px;
width:143px;
font:bold 9px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
line-height:30px;
color:#000;
background-image:url(../images/glass_bg.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
display:block;
float:left;
}
i dont need any scroll bar..i want it like a marquee like feature
One Simple method will be adding overflow in the CSS class:
overflow: scroll;
This will make div scrollable both in horizontal and vertical.
If you want scroll in one direction only, then you should try:
overflow-y:scroll; // For vertical scroll bar
And
overflow-x:scroll; // For horizontal scroll bar
you can have like this
for giving horizontal scroll
overflow-x:scroll;
for giving vertical scroll
overflow-y:scroll;
for giving scroll on both side
overflow:scroll;
From above css default scroll will come it will not depend on the content size
To make it depend on the content size make scroll --> auto
Add
overflow: auto; /* scroll bars appear, only when they are needed */
or
overflow: scroll; /* scroll bars appear (both horizontal and vertical, even when not needed */
There are also other ways of coding overflow, especially if you want a specific scroll bar to appear. Although, these are not widely supported by older browsers (IE8 and earlier).
overflow-x: scroll; /* only horizontal scroll bar */
overflow-y: scroll; /* only vertical scroll bar */
Here is the code for static text, you need to give the width according to text inside the div:
CSS:
.divcon-outer{
width:143px;
}
.divcon{
margin:0px;
padding:0px;
max-height:45px;
width:auto;
font:bold 9px Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
line-height:30px;
color:#000;
background-image:url(../images/glass_bg.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
display:block;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
.divcon p{
min-width:200px;
max-width:50000px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
HTML:
<div class="divcon-outer">
<div class="divcon"><p>I have div with fixed width.I want to auto scroll(lefta nd right:Hirizontal direction) the text if content of div is more than div width.How can i do this thought css or jquery.Currently div has a class like this..</p></div></div>
Here's one example that uses strictly CSS to horizontally auto-scroll as an area with a fixed width is populated. No scroll bars are used or rendered. A few things to note here:
Your question is a bit ambiguous. When you say you want it to auto-scroll, do you mean that you want the content to scroll by as it's added to the div? Do you mean you want it to repeatedly scroll over the same text? Or perhaps something else? I'm assuming here that you're requesting the first option.
The scrolling here uses no JavaScript, but of course some script is needed to populate the div that's being scrolled.
I've only tested this in Firefox and Chrome.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<style type="text/css">
#scrollbox{
display: inline-block;
width: 16em;
overflow: hidden;
border: 1px solid #F00;
}
#scrollcontent{
float:right;
white-space: nowrap;
}
</style>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var idx = 0;
$(document).ready(function(){
setInterval(function(){
idx++;
$('#scrollcontent').append('foo_' + idx + " ");
}, 200);
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<span id="scrollbox">
<span id="scrollcontent"></span>
</span>
</body>
</html>
That works nicely as long as you're adding text to the div and only wish for it to scroll rightwards as the text is added. If you want it to automatically scroll left and right, then you'll need JavaScript to automatically zig-zag the position of "#scrollcontent". You would need an algorithm that gets the width of the parent span ("#scrollbox" in this case), subtracts that from the width of the child span ("#scrollcontent") and oscillates a number between zero and the result of that subtraction. The x position of the child span would be set to the negative of that number. Note that you would need to give "scrollcontent" an absolute position, and remove the float: right attribute. You would also need to specify the position attribute for "scrollbox", otherwise the absolute position of scrollcontent would be relative the next parent that does have the positioning explicitly defined, rather than scrollbox itself.
Please take a look at this: http://sources.freehosting.bg/landing.html
I am trying to vertically align #content so it looks good on larger (1920x1200) and smaller (1024x768) resolutions. By that I mean it does not have a scrollbar.
As you see there is plenty of free space so a scrollbar is unneeded.
The only solution I came up with is to calculate the height of #content with JS and to set a padding, but I realize it is the lamest possible solution.
Please advise me on how to achieve that.
See if this fiddle is what you are looking for. Simple solution IMO.
It works by forcing the containing div to behave as a table-cell, and making use of the vertical-align: middle style. It doesn't require you to know the heights of any elements at all.
Code used in the fiddle are below.
HTML:
<div class="a">
text inside div a
<div class="b">
text inside div b
</div>
</div>
The important styles are:
display: table-cell
vertical-align: middle
The rest are only there for demonstration. CSS:
div.a {
border: 1px solid red;
}
div.b {
border: 1px solid blue;
height: 200px;
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
If your content height is fixed put a div before the content
<div id="distance"></div>
<div id="content">
Vertically centered :D
</div>
and style it like:
html, body {
height:100%;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
div#distance {
width:1px;
height:50%;
margin-bottom:-300px; /* half of website height */
float:left;
}
div#content {
text-align:left;
margin:auto;
position: relative;
width: 950px;
height: 600px;
clear: left;
}
The only way I know of that works using pure CSS, no JS and no hacks requires you to know the height of the thing you're trying to position:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
/* Give your document height */
body, #content {
height: 100%;
}
/* Give your element height */
.thing {
width: 20px;
height: 300px;
background: #000;
}
/* Position thing */
#content .thing {
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
margin-top: -150px; /* half the height of the thing */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="content">
<div class="thing"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EDIT: Updated height of item, container id. Still works just fine.
There is one way to do this without javascript and without knowing the height of the content - but purists will not like it. Then again, sometimes it doesn't matter if it's not approved by the trendy people. Sometimes all you need is to get the job done because you boss wants it that way.
And the solution is: use a table (told you purists wouldn't like it). Do layout the old school way and abuse the fact that HTML specifies lots of capabilities to tables.
A table cell is the only HTML element that has a vertical alignment attribute that does what most people expect it to do. Just give the table 100% width and height (so that is expands with the window size) and use cell alignment to position the content you want.
I've only ever had to use this trick once and it still makes me feel dirty* but when you really need it it works better than anything else.
*note: I'm a purist myself but understand that sometimes a man's got to do what a man's got to do.
What is the easiest way to align a div whose position is relative horizontally and vertically using CSS ? The width and the height of the div is unknown, i.e. it should work for every div dimension and in all major browsers. I mean center alignment.
I thought to make the horizontal alignment using:
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
like I did here.
Is this a good cross browser solution for horizontal alignment ?
How could I do the vertical alignment ?
Horizontal centering is only possible if the element's width is known, else the browser cannot figure where to start and end.
#content {
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
This is perfectly crossbrowser compatible.
Vertical centering is only possible if the element is positioned absolutely and has a known height. The absolute positioning would however break margin: 0 auto; so you need to approach this differently. You need to set its top and left to 50% and the margin-top and margin-left to the negative half of its width and height respectively.
Here's a copy'n'paste'n'runnable example:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 2935404</title>
</head>
<style>
#content {
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
height: 200px;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
margin-left: -150px; /* Negative half of width. */
margin-top: -100px; /* Negative half of height. */
border: 1px solid #000;
}
</style>
<body>
<div id="content">
content
</div>
</body>
</html>
That said, vertical centering is usually seldom applied in real world.
If the width and height are really unknown beforehand, then you'll need to grab Javascript/jQuery to set the margin-left and margin-top values and live with the fact that client will see the div quickly be shifted during page load, which might cause a "wtf?" experience.
"Vertical centering is only possible if the element is positioned absolutely and has a known height." – This statement is not exactly correct.
You can try and use display:inline-block; and its possibility to be aligned vertically within its parent's box. This technique allows you to align element without knowing its height and width, although it requires you to know parent's height, at the least.
If your HTML is this;
<div id="container">
<div id="aligned-middle" class="inline-block">Middleman</div>
<div class="strut inline-block"> </div>
</div>
And your CSS is:
#container {
/* essential for alignment */
height:300px;
line-height:300px;
text-align:center;
/* decoration */
background:#eee;
}
#aligned-middle {
/* essential for alignment */
vertical-align:middle;
/* decoration */
background:#ccc;
/* perhaps, reapply inherited values, so your content is styled properly */
line-height:1.5;
text-align:left;
}
/* this block makes all the "magic", according to http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/visudet.html#propdef-vertical-align specification: "The baseline of an 'inline-block' is the baseline of its last line box in the normal flow, unless it has either no in-flow line boxes or if its 'overflow' property has a computed value other than 'visible', in which case the baseline is the bottom margin edge." */
#container .strut {
/* parent's height */
height:300px;
}
.inline-block {
display:inline-block;
*display:inline;/* for IE < 8 */
*zoom:1;/* for IE < 8 */
}
Then #aligned-middle will be centered within #container. This is the simplest use of this technique, but it's a nice one to be familiar with.
Rules marked with "/* for IE < 8 */" should be placed in a separate stylsheet, via use of conditional comments.
You can view a working example of this here: http://jsfiddle.net/UXKcA/3/
edit: (this particular snippet tested in ie6 and ff3.6, but I use this a lot, it's pretty cross-browser. if you would need support for ff < 3, you would also need to add display:-moz-inline-stack; under display:inline-block; within .inline-block rule.)

Set following two things
HTML align attribute value center
CSS margin-left and margin-right properties value set auto
CSS
<style type="text/css">
#setcenter{
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
// margin: 0px auto; shorthand property
}
</style>
HTML
<div align="center" id="setcenter">
This is some text!
</div>
"If the width and height are really unknown beforehand, then you'll
need to grab Javascript/jQuery to set the margin-left and margin-top
values and live with the fact that client will see the div quickly be
shifted during page load, which might cause a "wtf?" experience."
You could .hide() the div when the DOM is ready, wait for the page to load, set the div margin-left and margin-top values, and .show() the div again.
$(function(){
$("#content").hide();
)};
$(window).bind("load", function() {
$("#content").getDimSetMargins();
$("#content").show();
});
I have a <div>...</div> section in my HTML that is basically like a toolbar.
Is there a way I could force that section to the bottom of the web page (the document, not the viewport) and center it?
I think what you're looking for is this: http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/
It's an elegant, CSS only solution!
I use it and it works perfect with all kinds of layouts in all browsers! As far as I'm concerned it is the only elegant solution which works with all browsers and layouts.
#Josh: No it isn't and that's what Blankman wants, he wants a footer that sticks to the bottom of the document, not of the viewport (browser window). So if the content is shorter than the browser window, the footer sticks to the lower end of the window, if the content is longer, the footer goes down and is not visible until you scroll down.
Twitter Bootstrap implementation
I've seen a lot of people asking how this can be combined with Twitter Bootstrap. While it's easy to figure out, here are some snippets that should help.
// _sticky-footer.scss SASS partial for a Ryan Fait style sticky footer
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -1*($footerHeight + 2); /* + 2 for the two 1px borders */
}
.push {
height: $footerHeight;
}
.wrapper > .container {
padding-top: $navbarHeight + $gridGutterWidth;
}
#media (max-width: 480px) {
.push {
height: $topFooterHeight !important;
}
.wrapper {
margin: 0 auto -1*($topFooterHeight + 2) !important;
}
}
And the rough markup body:
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
// navbar content
</div>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="container">
// main content with your grids, etc.
</div>
<div class="push"><!--//--></div>
</div>
<footer class="footer">
// footer content
</footer>
</body>
If I understand you correctly, you want the toolbar to always be visible, regardless of the vertical scroll position. If that is correct, I would recommend the following CSS...
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
z-index:0;
}
#toolbar {
background:#ddd;
border-top:solid 1px #666;
bottom:0;
height:15px;
padding:5px;
position:fixed;
width:100%;
z-index:1000;
}
I just want to be clear on what your saying here:
bottom of the web page (the
document, not the viewport)
Naturally, a div will be at the bottom of the "document", depending on your layout.
If it's not going to the bottom of a document, or not paying attention to how tall your columns are, is it because your floating? Clear: both; would be in order to solve that.
The sticky footers are what I think your looking for, but when you say document, and not the viewport, I get a bit confused. Sticky footers typically do this: Watch for short pages, and if its shorter than the view port, the sticky footer tacks the footer div to the bottom.
Here's some sticky footers (there's gajillions of em, but this is in order of my favorites):

Maybe if you gave a quick illustration or were a bit more specific on what you want? Hope this helps :D

Try this: Fixed footers without Javascript. I don't know if it will be a perfect fit, but I think it's close enough.
You can just give the div a:
clear:both; text-align:center;
and put the div as the last element before the closing body statement. That would force it to be the last element without anything next to it.
Your best bet is to use javascript to determine the size of your page. You can get the height with window.innerHeight with non-IE browsers and document.documentElement.clientHeight with IE. With that value you should be able to absolutely position your element on the page setting top to that value minus the height of your div. If the height of your div is variable you will need to check the div's offsetHeight property to get the real height.
For centering use the following example:
<!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>
<style>
.wrapper
{
width: 100%;
padding-left: 50%;
}
.test
{
width: 400px;
margin-left: -200px;
border: 1px solid black;
padding-left: -200px;
}
</style>
</head>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="test">This is a test</div>
</div>
</html>
You have a wrapper div around the div you want centered. The wrapper div has a width of 100% the inner div has a width set to whatever you want it to be. Give the wrapper div a left padding of 50% and the inner div a negative left margin equal to half of its width.
