Question

I am using zurbs foundation to build my site, and I am trying to figure out how to create a footer that sticks to the bottom of the page. I have tried absolute positioning but it overlaps the content. The div footer I am trying to place at the bottom is inside the container however I could move it where needed.

        </div>
    </div>

    <div id="footer" ></div>
<!-- container ends-->
</div>

css code

#footer{ background-image: url('../images/footer.jpg'); height:300px; width:100%; position: absolute; bottom:0;}

Answer 1

You are using foundation, which alters the bottom:0 absolute positioning. Proof: try getting rid of the foundation css call in the header, and see you thing adjusting.

Answer 2

You just need to add

html { height:100%; }

you have it on your body, but not your html tag.
