I'm actually designing my website, it's going to be a one HTML page using javascript to switch between divisions. I'm using a wrap division where my banner/header, text container and my footer are relative positioned. I want my footer to be at least to the bottom of the window when there is not enough content, so I'm trying to put a min-height to my text container. Like this the website would occupy at least all the windows in it's height.
My HTML code (a part ^^)
<div id="wrap">
<div id="banner"></div>
<div>
<div id="whoami" class="corpus"></div>
<div id="etc" class="corpus">There is different divisions like these, I'm switching through thoose using jQuery, but that's not important there. I'm trying to put a min-height to get the footer at the bottom of the windows if there not enough content. I can't pass the footer in absolute position</div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
The CSS that goes with this
html, body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
background:#fff;
height:100%;
}
#wrap {
background-color:#ff0;
min-height:100%;
width:1000px;
left:50%;
margin-left:-500px;
position:absolute;
}
#banner {
background-color:blue;
height:150px;
width:1000px;
position:relative;
}
.corpus {
width:800px;
min-height:100%; //I tried this : min-height : calc(100% - 260px); it didn't work.
margin-left:100px;
background-color:grey;
position:relative;
height:auto;
margin-top:5px;
}
#footer {
height:100px;
width:1000px;
background-color:purple;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
bottom:0;
margin-top:5px;
}
A little Fiddle for the road :http://jsfiddle.net/yoshino78/bn455/1/
I hope I've been clear ? ^^ Well thanks for your help and if needed feel free to ask me some details.
Since
#wrap
is a positioned element and you've already appliedbottom:0
for the footer, all you've to do is Simply applyposition:absolute
to the footer, so that it'll stay at the bottom of#wrap
regardless of the content inside it.Demo
Side note: you also might want to apply
padding-bottom
to#wrap
equal to the height of footer so that content won't get hidden behind the footer
