I have a page that does not fill the entire screen's height, but I want a footer to stay just below the screen, so that it appears right when you start scrolling - no matter the person's screen height.
How do I accomplish this using CSS?
EDIT
I have tried:
#footer{
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:100%;
}
This works, but it gets in the way if my page does go over the screen's height. I really need compatibility for both types of pages.
Here's a simple example of the layout you describe:
HTML
<html>
<head><title>Hidden Footer</title></head>
<body>
<div id="content">
Content here
</div>
<div id="footer">
Footer here
</div>
</body>
</html>
CSS
html,
body { height: 100%; min-height: 100%; }
#content { min-height: 100%; }
#footer { background: #ccc; }
html {
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
padding-bottom: 40px; /* free space for the footer */
box-sizing: border-box; /* don't add padding to the actual height */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 40px;
}
The page you linked has a fixed header. The rest of the body scrolls appropriately.
Look into fixed CSS headers/footers to replicate the effect.
