just set position  fixed to the footer element  instead of relative   Jsbin example  Note that you may need to also set a margin-bottom to the main element at least equal to the height of the footer element  e g  margin-bottom  1 5em   otherwise  in some circustances  the bottom area of the main content could be partially overlapped by your footer

Here is an example using css3   CSS   html  body       height  100       margin  0     wrap       padding  10px      min-height  -webkit-calc 100  - 100px          Chrome        min-height  -moz-calc 100  - 100px          Firefox        min-height  calc 100  - 100px          native       footer       position  relative      clear both      HTML    lt div id  wrap  gt      body content      lt  div gt   lt footer class  footer  gt      footer content      lt  footer gt    jsfiddle    Update As  Martin pointed  the   position  relative   is not mandatory on the  footer element  the same for clear both  These properties are only there as an example  So  the minimum css necessary to stick the footer on the bottom should be   html  body       height  100       margin  0     wrap       min-height  -webkit-calc 100  - 100px          Chrome        min-height  -moz-calc 100  - 100px          Firefox        min-height  calc 100  - 100px          native          Also  there is an excellent article at css-tricks showing different ways to do this  https   css-tricks com couple-takes-sticky-footer
