I have these two illustration for the issue I need to fix:
Footer is relative and pushed down as textarea grows, but there is a
whitespace below the footer
Footer is absoluted and is just right in the bottom of the page but it is not pushed down as content (textarea) grows
The code for the footer & content is:
.content {
padding-bottom: 124px;
position: relative;
}
.footer{
width: 100%;
height:124px !important;
margin: 0px auto;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
position: relative !important;
bottom: 0px; !important;
left: 0px;
}
The question is how can I make that the footer stays at the bottom even when the content is not full, while as content grows it should be pushed down further.
You could use the sticky footer solution from http://ryanfait.com/resources/footer-stick-to-bottom-of-page/
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
.margin: 0 auto -4em;
}
.footer, .push {
height: 4em;
}
with HTML
...
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<p>Your website content here.</p>
<div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
Content of footer
</div>
</body>
</html>
The only limitation is that you have to know the size of the footer
apply
overflow: auto;
to the content
You could use the calc trick that isn't so obtuous and very simple to work with, it only works in IE9 and up, though, and it requires you to know the size of your footer as well. I have added % values as well to have some semblance of logic for older browsers. This will also allow the content to expand as much as it wants.
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
}
#content, #footer {
width: 100%;
background: whiteSmoke;
}
#content {
min-height: 90%;
min-height: calc(100% - 100px);
}
#footer {
height: 10%;
height: calc(100px);
background: #000;
}
<div id="content"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>

Jscode
I want Edge to be like this
Edge does not fit on the screen. Also, footer stops on the spot.
I tried both Javascript and CSS but it didn't work on Edge when there is no element at the bottom of the screen. I want to be at the bottom of the page when there are more elements than the screen.
I recommend using CSS grids for all HTML templates. Otherwise it can be difficult to keep footer at the bottom for all screen sizes.
That being said, try using flexbox.
Insert all of your html in main and flexbox will push footer to the bottom of the page.
/* The magic: */
.Site {
display: flex;
min-height: 100vh;
flex-direction: column;
}
.Site-content {
flex: 1;
}
/* Stlyes to make the demo easier to see: */
body { margin: 0; }
header { background-color: #FD2D; }
main { background-color: #DFDD; }
footer {
background-color: #049e8c;
height: 50pt;
text-align: right;
bottom: 0;
}
<body class="Site">
<header>Header</header>
<main class="Site-content">Content</main>
<footer>Footer</footer>
</body>
If you want to try CSS Grids, you need to do something like this.
All HTML content goes into the Site-content section. Hope this helped :)
/* Stlyes to make the demo easier to see: */
html{
height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
display: grid;
height: 100%;
grid-template-areas:
"header_section"
"Site-content_section"
"footer_section";
grid-template-rows: 100px 100% 50px; /* 100px for header, 100% for content section, 50px for footer */
}
.header {
grid-area: header_section;
background-color: #FDD;
}
.Site-content {
grid-area: Site-content_section;
background-color: #DFD;
}
.footer {
grid-area: footer_section;
background-color: #049e8c;
text-align: right;
}
<body>
<div class= "header">Header</div>
<div class="Site-content">Content</div>
<div class= "footer">Footer</div>
</body>
I don't exactly get the point inside the question. Maybe If You want to put your footer full the windows you can try to use "position" with the value "absolute
footer {
position:absolute;
background-color: #049e8c;
width: 100%;
height: 50pt;
text-align: right;
margin-top: auto;
bottom: 0;
left:0;
}
<body>
<footer id="footer">
<div id="" class="">
hoge
hoge
</div>
</footer>
</body>
So not sure if this one is possible but from my understanding of the spec the parent of a position fixed element should be the viewport not a parent element with position relative.
That obviously all works when it comes to positioning but not with z-index.
If you take a look at this example,
.parent {
height: 1000px;
}
.el-one {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
color: red;
}
.el-two {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background-color: black;
height: 500px;
width: 100%;
}
.im-fixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="el-one">
<div class="im-fixed">Hello</div>
</div>
<div class="el-two"></div>
</div>
https://codepen.io/anon/pen/mmvXaE
The fixed element goes behind the black section if you scroll down, what I need is a way to get the red element to the front without moving it out of el-one.
I have a project where some embed code needs to become fixed when you scroll past it, this is a better example of the actual code. The example above just highlights the issue in a simple way:
<div class="parent">
<div class="el-one">
<div id="my-wrapper">
<iframe class="im-fixed"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
<div class="el-two"></div>
</div>
,
I found this online talking about what I believe has caused the issue: https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2012/09/Stacking-Changes-Coming-to-position-fixed-elements but no luck finding a workaround.
All I can think of is using JS to move the element from where an editor puts the embed code and prepending it to the body when the user scrolls past the element.
Anyone else come across this or have any ideas?
You want something like this? Increase the z-index of .el-one higher than the one you want to overlap
.parent {
height: 1000px;
}
.el-one {
position: relative;
z-index: 99;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
color: red;
}
.el-two {
position: relative;
z-index: 2;
background-color: black;
height: 500px;
width: 100%;
}
.im-fixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="el-one">
<div class="im-fixed">Hello</div>
</div>
<div class="el-two"></div>
</div>
Use the following:
.el-two {
position: relative;
z-index: -1;
background-color: black;
height: 500px;
width: 100%;
}
There are several ways to solve this issue. Increasing Z-Index, cleaning up the div and etc.
I think you are sort of trying sticky header functionality. There is a new value for position CSS attribute.
position: sticky
I have cleaned up the code and removed all Z-Index. Please check the attached code snippet.
Note: Supported only in Chrome, Firefox
Not supported in IE.
.parent {
background-color: green;
position: relative;
width: 100%;
height: 5000px;
}
.header {
position: sticky;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
height: 50px;
background-color: yellow;
}
.el-one {
background-color: blue;
color: white;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
}
.el-two {
background-color: orange;
height: 500px;
width: 100%;
}
<div class="parent">
<div class="header">I am a header</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="el-one">
I am el-one
</div>
<div class="el-two">
I am el-two
</div>
</div>
</div>
I have some modules on my project that are generated dynamically. This basic HTML will work fine as an example of what I want to achieve:
<div class="container">
<div class="image">
image here
</div>
<div class=" ellipsis">
<div class="description">
here we have a text not very long for a small module
</div>
</div>
<div class="end">
buttom
</div>
</div>
My problem is that I don't want this module to ever grow too much vertically, if the web administrator writes a long "description" (I can't limit how much he wants to write as the "description" text will show on other pages).
I found a nice CSS trick to add "ellipsis" to a multiple lines container. Here you can see this "trick" in the .ellipsis (plus the basic CSS):
.container {
background-color: #eee;
width:100px;
margin:20px;
float:left;
}
.image {
border:2px solid #999;
width:100px;
height:60px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
.end {
border:2px solid #999;
width:100px;
background-color: #fff;
}
.ellipsis {
overflow: hidden;
max-height: 200px;
line-height: 25px;
margin-bottom:10px;
position:relative;
}
.ellipsis:before {
content:"";
float: left;
height:100%;
width: 5px;
height: 200px;
}
.ellipsis > *:first-child {
float: right;
width: 100%;
margin-left: -5px;
}
.ellipsis:after {
content: "\02026";
box-sizing: content-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: content-box;
-moz-box-sizing: content-box;
float: right; position: relative;
top: -25px; left: 100%;
width: 20px; margin-left: -20px;
padding-right: 5px;
text-align: right;
background-color:#eee;
}
You can see everything together here: JSFIDDLE
The problem I have is that while ellipsis works fine, I don't want ALL the modules to have a fixed height. I just want to limit the max-height to a fixed size. (Just delete "height: 200px;" from ".ellipsis:before" to see what I want to achieve.)
So, the problem is the .ellipsis:before fixed height. 100% height won't work unless I turn the position to absolute, but then the "ellipsis" trick won't work as the float won't take effect.
Any help with my problem will be greatly appreciated. I don't think there may be a pure CSS solution, (trust me, I have tried) and I'm very bad a JavaScript/jQuery. However, if you have a jQuery solution that may help, I could implement it in the project (and give you nice rep points here :) ). I was thinking something like:
If div.ellipsis > 200px then add height:200px to ellipsis:before
Thanks a lot in advance and please excuse my poor English. Hope the question is clear enough.
There is no need of :before pseudo class. Check this fiddle.
.ellipsis:after {
content:"\02026";
position: absolute; /* removed position: relative */
top: 200px; /* equal to max-height value */
right: 0px;
margin-top: -25px; /* equal to line-height value */
/* other styles */ /* removed float property */
}
Working Fiddle
In the above fiddle, I removed :before pseudo class and set the position of the :after pseudo class to top by 200px which is equal to the given max-height value of the .ellipsis.
and to remove the default upper and lower gaps of the container, I added margin-top: -25px which is equal to the given line-height.
Note: You can apply just top: 175px which is result value of subtraction of given max-height and line-height values.
Here's a simple jQuery solution.
First add a class for when an ellipsis reaches the maximum height, let's call it maxed. Set the :before height for that to 200px:
.ellipsis.maxed:before {
height:200px;
}
Then as you say. you can do some simple jQuery to check the height. If it is the maximum, then add our maxed class to the ellipsis:
$(function() {
$('.container .ellipsis').each(function() {
var $this = $(this);
if($this.height() >= 200) {
$this.addClass('maxed');
}
});
});
Updated fiddle here
You can do it easily with jquery (I assume jquery is an available option in your project).
You just have to
Remove all "ellipsis" class from HTML
Add "ellipsis" whenever needed with JS (= when your content exceeds 200px).
For that, you can use the following :
$('.description').each(function(){
if($(this).height() >= 200 ){
$(this).parent().addClass('ellipsis');
}
});
Working JSfiddle
You can't directly manipulate pseudo elements like :before. What you could do here is add a class for large ellipsis with height: 200px. Then use jQuery to add the new class according to the height.
$(function() {
$('div.ellipsis').each(function (index, element) {
if ($(element).height() >= 200) {
$(element).addClass('ellipsis-large');
}
});
});
See the code snippet for the full example:
$(function() {
$('div.ellipsis').each(function(index, element) {
if ($(element).height() >= 200) {
$(element).addClass('ellipsis-large');
}
});
});
.container {
background-color: #eee;
width: 100px;
margin: 20px;
float: left;
}
.image {
border: 2px solid #999;
width: 100px;
height: 60px;
background-color: #fff;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.end {
border: 2px solid #999;
width: 100px;
background-color: #fff;
}

You need to specify the height of the root element.
Reference:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/height
The is calculated with respect to the height of the
containing block. If the height of the containing block is not
specified explicitly, the value computes to auto. A percentage height
on the root element (e.g. ) is relative to the viewport.
You have to say that the body and html tags are also 100% like this:
html, body{
height:100%;
position: relative;}
.top {
background: red;
}
.left {
position: relative;
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
background: grey;
float: left;
height:auto !important; /* real browsers */
height:100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/
min-height:100%;
}
.right {
position: relative;
width: 25%;
height: 100%;
background: blue;
float: left;
}
I've browsed to all question related to "sticky footer" and nothing helped me because my #content div does not always have sufficient content to push the footer to the bottom. Here is the code I've used to achieve this, but apparently I did something wrong:
html, body, div#container { height: 100%; }
body > div#container { height: auto; min-height: 100%; }
div#index_body { padding-bottom: 30px; }
.footer {
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
height: 30px;
margin-top: -45px;
padding-top:15px;
}
.footer {
color: #666;
background-color:#F4F7FA;
border-top:1px solid #E6E7E8;
font-size:95%;
text-align: center;
}
<div id="container">
<div id="index_body">
</div><!--end index_body -->
<div id="index_footer" class="footer">
</div><!--end footer -->
</div><!--end container -->
Some of my attempts work when index body has loads of text images only then the footer goes to the end but when it doesn't have much content let say 2 paragraph tags and an image the footer doesn't stick. Maybe this is not possible with just CSS, because the index_footer height is not fixed? Is there a way to do this with JavaScript? Or what is the right way to do this?
My screen resolution is really big maybe that is the problem its 1680 x 1050
Try moving your footer div outside of the container div. Your technique should then work. The way you have it set at the moment the footer is within the containing div, but positioned relatively. So even though the containing div may have 100% height, the footer div within it is still only to go just below the content in the container.
A quick example of what I mean, (note that an extra div with some padding-bottom is required in order to make sure the footer does not overlap the contents),
<html>
<head>
<title>Sticky Footer Test</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
* {
margin: 0px;
}
#container {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height/**/: 100%; /* for IE6 */
background: #ddd;
}
#footer {
position: relative;
background: #555;
margin-top: -100px;
height: 100px;
}
#content {
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<p>Hello! I'm some content!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Hello! I'm a footer!</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If you can't move the footer outside of the container (for whatever reason), then you could also try positioning the footer absolutely within the containing div to be at the bottom. position: absolute; bottom: 0px; etc
For example, (again, an extra div with some padding-bottom is required in order to make sure the footer does not overlap the contents),
<html>
<head>
<title>Sticky Footer Test 2</title>
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
* {
margin: 0px;
}
#container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height/**/: 100%; /* for IE6 */
background: #ddd;
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0px;
width: 100%;
background: #555;
margin-top: -100px;
height: 100px;
}
#content {
padding-bottom: 100px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
<p>Hello! I'm some content!</p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<p>Hello! I'm a footer!</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
I know this doesn't answer your exact question, but the work done by Ryan Fait has worked very well for me across multiple browsers. You might want to give this a try (or take a look at what he did compared to what you are doing and see if you can determine a fix).
I believe the root of the problem is that the footer element in the HTML needs to be outside of the #container div. Also, I noticed after I removed that, issues with margin and padding on the body tag. Finally, the border-top on the .footer makes the height of the footer 46px, not 45px...
The corrected CSS:
/* FOOTER FIX */
html, body, div#container { height: 100%; }
body > div#container { height: auto; min-height: 100%; }
div#index_body { padding-bottom: 30px; }
body{margin:0;padding:0;}
#container{ margin-bottom: -46px; }
.footer {
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
height: 30px;
padding-top:15px;
color: #666;
background-color:#F4F7FA;
border-top:1px solid #E6E7E8;
font-size:95%;
text-align: center;
} /* END FIX */
The corrected HTML:
<html>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="index_body">
</div><!--end index_body -->
</div><!--end container -->
<div id="index_footer" class="footer">
</div><!--end footer -->
</body>
</html>
It's actually easy, here's the minimum required template:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>SO question 1980857</title>
<style>
html, body {
margin: 0;
height: 100%;
}
#container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
* html #container {
height: 100%; /* This is min-height for IE6. */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
}
#footer, #pushfooter {
height: 50px; /* Both must have the same height. */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="content">Content</div>
<div id="pushfooter"></div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Making the container relative and giving it a min-height will actually stick the footer to its bottom all the time regardless of the content's actual height, which was your major concern as understood from comments.
Going off Harmen, i have tested this and it works, with the footer in the container. altho it is a little hackish
CSS
html, body, div#container { height: 100%; }
body > div#container { height: auto; min-height: 100%; }
div#index_body {
min-height: 100%;
margin-bottom: -46px;
}
.footer, .push {
height: 30px;
}
.footer {
clear: both;
position: relative;
z-index: 10;
margin: 0px;
}
.footer {
color: #666;
background-color:#F4F7FA;
border-top:1px solid #E6E7E8;
font-size:95%;
text-align: center;
} /* END FIX */
html
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="index_body">
<div class="push"></div><!--Used to force the footer down to avoid overlap of footer and text -->
</div><!--end index_body -->
<div id="index_footer" class="footer">
</div><!--end footer -->
</div><!--end container -->
</body>
In order to realize a sticky footer, that is a footer placed in a fixed position at the bottom of the webpage that doesn't move when your scroll the page you can use this css code:
#footer{
position:fixed;
clear:both;
}
position:fixed makes the footer sticky anyway there could be floating problems if you used float:left or float:right in your code before, so using also clear:both it clears the floating and ensures that the footer is at the bottom under other divs and not on the left or right of the precedent div.
This will work, no matter what the height of the #container is:
CSS:
html, body {
height: 100%;
