I got this code:

</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<p>Some footer-content</p>
<p>Some footer-content</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</footer>
CSS:
footer {
background-color: #eee;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-left: 15px;
}
It's kind of the very basic of what I have, but you'll get the point. As you can see the footer is positioned somewhere mid-air. I could position it absolute and make it sticky easily, but for various reasons I do not want that.
I want the footer to be BELOW the whole content (so to speak, listed as very last), however, if there's not enough content I need the footer to be placed at bottom: 0 and left: 0.
I have no idea how to accomplish this. My first guess would've been to use JavaScript to see how much space there is and whether the site is scrollable or not.
