How do you get the footer to stay at the bottom of a Web page

Question

I have a simple 2-column layout with a footer that clears both the right and left div in my markup   My problem is that I can t get the footer to stay at the bottom of the page in all browsers   It works if the content pushes the footer down  but that s not always the case

If you don t want it using position fixed  and following you annoyingly on mobile  this seems to be working for me so far   html       min-height  100       position  relative      site-footer       position  absolute      bottom  0      left  0      width  100       padding  6px 2px      background   32383e      Just set the html to min-height  100   and position  relative   then position  absolute  bottom  0  left  0  on the footer  I then made sure the footer was the last element in the body   Let me know if this doesn t work for anyone else  and why  I know these tedious style hacks can behave strangely among various circumstances I d not thought of

I have created a very simple library https   github com ravinderpayal FooterJS   It is very simple in use  After including library  just call this line of code    footer init document getElementById  ID OF ELEMENT CONTAINING FOOTER       Footers can be dynamically changed by recalling above function with different parameter id    footer init document getElementById  ID OF ANOTHER ELEMENT CONTAINING FOOTER       Note - You haven t to alter or add any CSS  Library is dynamic which implies that even if screen is resized after loading page it will reset the position of footer  I have created this library  because CSS solves the problem for a while but when size of display changes significantly from desktop to tablet or vice versa  they either overlap the content or they no longer remains sticky   Another solution is CSS Media Queries  but you have to manually write different CSS styles for different size of screens while this library does its work automatically and is supported by all basic JavaScript supporting browser   Edit CSS solution    media only screen and  min-height  768px      or height length of body content including footer          For mobile phones          footer           width  100           position fixed          bottom 0            Now  if the height of display is more than your content length  we will make footer fixed to bottom and if not  it will automatically appear in very end of display as you need to scroll to view this   And  it seems a better solution than JavaScript library one

You could use position  absolute following to put the footer at the bottom of the page  but then make sure your 2 columns have the appropriate margin-bottom so that they never get occluded by the footer    footer       position  absolute      bottom  0px      width  100      content   sidebar        margin-bottom  5em

Sticky footer with display  flex Solution inspired by Philip Walton s sticky footer  Explanation This solution is valid only for   Chrome   21 0 Firefox   20 0 Internet Explorer   10 Safari   6 1  It is based on the flex display  leveraging the flex-grow property  which allows an element to grow in either height or width  when the flow-direction is set to either column or row respectively   to occupy the extra space in the container  We are going to leverage also the vh unit  where 1vh is defined as   1 100th of the height of the viewport  Therefore a height of 100vh it s a concise way to tell an element to span the full viewport s height  This is how you would structure your web page  ----------- body ----------- ----------------------------  ---------- footer ---------- ----------------------------  In order to have the footer stick to the bottom of the page  you want the space between the body and the footer to grow as much as it takes to push the footer at the bottom of the page  Therefore our layout becomes  ----------- body ----------- ----------------------------  ---------- spacer ----------                               lt - This element must grow in height ----------------------------  ---------- footer ---------- ----------------------------  Implementation  x000D   x000D  body       margin  0      display  flex      flex-direction  column      min-height  100vh      spacer       flex  1        make it visible for the purposes of demo     footer       height  50px      background-color  red    x000D   lt body gt       lt div class  content  gt Hello World  lt  div gt       lt div class  spacer  gt  lt  div gt       lt footer class  footer  gt  lt  footer gt   lt  body gt  x000D   x000D   x000D   You can play with it at the JSFiddle  Safari quirks Be aware that Safari has a flawed implementation of the flex-shrink property  which allows items to shrink more than the minimum height that would be required to display the content  To fix this issue you will have to set the flex-shrink property explicitly to 0 to the  content and the footer in the above example   content     flex-shrink  0      footer     flex-shrink  0     Alternatively  change the flex style for the spacer element into   spacer     flex  1 0 auto     This 3-value shorthand style is equivalent to the following full setup   spacer     flex-grow  1    flex-shrink  0    flex-basis  auto     Elegantly works everywhere

A similar solution to  gcedo but without the need of adding an intermediate content in order to push the footer down  We can simply add margin-top auto to the footer and it will be pushed to the bottom of the page regardless his height or the height of the content above    x000D   x000D  body   x000D    display  flex  x000D    flex-direction  column  x000D    min-height  100vh  x000D    margin 0  x000D    x000D   x000D   content   x000D    padding  50px  x000D    background  red  x000D    x000D   x000D   footer   x000D    margin-top  auto  x000D    padding 10px  x000D    background  green  x000D    x000D   lt div class  content  gt  x000D    some content here x000D   lt  div gt  x000D   lt footer class  footer  gt  x000D    some content x000D   lt  footer gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Here is a solution with jQuery that works like a charm  It checks if the height of the window is greater than the height of the body  If it is  then it changes the margin-top of the footer to compensate  Tested in Firefox  Chrome  Safari and Opera      function           var height diff      window   height   -     body    height        if   height diff  gt  0                  footer    css   margin-top   height diff                 If your footer already has a margin-top  of 50 pixels  for example  you will need to change the last part for   css   margin-top   height diff   50

Use CSS vh units   Probably the most obvious and non-hacky way to go about a sticky footer would be to make use of the new css viewport units   Take for example the following simple markup    lt header gt header goes here lt  header gt   lt div class  content  gt This page has little content lt  div gt   lt footer gt This is my footer lt  footer gt    If the header is say 80px high and the footer is 40px high  then we can make our sticky footer with one single rule on the content div    content       min-height  calc 100vh - 120px          80px header   40px footer   120px         Which means  let the height of the content div be at least 100  of the viewport height minus the combined heights of the header and footer   That s it    x000D   x000D      x000D      margin 0  x000D      padding 0  x000D    x000D  header   x000D      background  yellow  x000D      height  80px  x000D    x000D   content   x000D      min-height  calc 100vh - 120px   x000D         80px header   40px footer   120px     x000D      background  pink  x000D    x000D  footer   x000D      height  40px  x000D      background  aqua  x000D    x000D   lt header gt header goes here lt  header gt  x000D   lt div class  content  gt This page has little content lt  div gt  x000D   lt footer gt This is my footer lt  footer gt  x000D   x000D   x000D        and here s how the same code works with lots of content in the content div  x000D   x000D      x000D      margin 0  x000D      padding 0  x000D    x000D  header   x000D      background  yellow  x000D      height  80px  x000D    x000D   content   x000D      min-height  calc 100vh -

Try putting a container div  with overflow auto  around the content and sidebar   If that doesn t work  do you have any screenshots or example links where the footer isn t displayed properly

User · Answer

None of these pure css solutions work properly with dynamically resizing content  at least on firefox and Safari  e g   if you have a background set on the container div  the page and then resize  adding a few rows  table inside the div  the table can stick out of the bottom of the styled area  i e   you can have half the table in white on black theme and half the table complete white because both the font-color and background color is white  It s basically unfixable with themeroller pages   Nested div multi-column layout is an ugly hack and the 100  min-height body container div for sticking footer is an uglier hack   The only none-script solution that works on all the browsers I ve tried  a much simpler shorter table with thead  for header  tfoot  for footer  tbody  td s for any number of columns  and 100  height  But this have perceived semantic and SEO disadvantages  tfoot must appear before tbody  ARIA roles may help decent search engines though

Multiple people have put the answer to this simple problem up here  but I have one thing to add  considering how frustrated I was until I figured out what I was doing wrong   As mentioned the most straightforward way to do this is like so    html       position  relative      min-height  100      body       background-color  transparent      position  static      height  100       margin-bottom  30px      site-footer       position  absolute      height  30px      bottom  0px      left  0px      right  0px      However the property not mentioned in posts  presumably because it is usually default  is the position  static on the body tag  Position relative will not work   My wordpress theme had overridden the default body display and it confused me for an obnoxiously long time

Set the CSS for the  footer to   position  absolute  bottom  0    You will then need to add a padding or margin to the bottom of your  sidebar and  content to match the height of  footer or when they overlap  the  footer will cover them   Also  if I remember correctly  IE6 has a problem with the bottom  0 CSS  You might have to use a JS solution for IE6  if you care about IE6 that is

The flex solutions worked for me as far as making the footer sticky  but unfortunately changing the body to use flex layout made some of our page layouts change  and not for the better  What finally worked for me was       jQuery document  ready function          var fht   jQuery  footer   outerHeight true       jQuery  main   css  min-height    calc 92vh -     fht    px            I got this from ctf0 s response at https   css-tricks com couple-takes-sticky-footer

For this question many of the answers I have seen are clunky  hard to implement and inefficient so I thought I d take a shot at it and come up with my own solution which is just a tiny bit of css and html   x000D   x000D  html  x000D  body   x000D    height  100   x000D    margin  0  x000D    x000D   body   x000D    min-height  calc 100  - 2rem   x000D    width  100   x000D    background-color  grey  x000D    x000D   footer   x000D    height  2rem  x000D    width  100   x000D    background-color  yellow  x000D    x000D   lt body gt  x000D     lt div class  body  gt test as body lt  div gt  x000D     lt div class  footer  gt test as footer lt  div gt  x000D   lt  body gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    this works by setting the height of the footer and then using css calc to work out the minimum height the page can be with the footer still at the bottom  hope this helps some people

Use absolute positioning and z-index to create a sticky footer div at any resolution using the following steps   Create a footer div with position  absolute  bottom  0  and the desired height Set the padding of the footer to add whitespace between the content bottom and the window bottom Create a container div that wraps the body content with position  relative  min-height  100   Add bottom padding to the main content div that is equal to the height plus padding of the footer Set the z-index of the footer greater than the container div if the footer is clipped  Here is an example   x000D   x000D   lt  doctype html gt   lt html gt     lt head gt       lt title gt Sticky Footer lt  title gt       lt meta charset  utf-8  gt       lt style gt         wrapper   position  relative  min-height  100            footer   position  absolute  bottom 0  width  100   height  200px  padding-top  100px  background-color  gray           column   height  2000px  padding-bottom  300px  background-color  grxqeen             Set the  html    body   and container  div  to  height  100   for IE6         lt  style gt     lt  head gt     lt body gt       lt div class  wrapper  gt         lt div class  column  gt           lt span gt hello lt  span gt         lt  div gt         lt div class  footer  gt           lt p gt This is a test  This is only a test    lt  p gt         lt  div gt       lt  div gt     lt  body gt   lt  html gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

I have myself struggled with this sometimes and I always found that the solution with all those div s within each other was a messy solution   I just messed around with it a bit  and I personally found out that this works and it certainly is one of the simplest ways   html       position  relative     html  body       margin  0      padding  0      min-height  100      footer       position  absolute      bottom  0      What I like about this is that no extra HTML needs to be applied  You can simply add this CSS and then write your HTML as whenever

For me the nicest way of displaying it  the footer  is sticking to the bottom but not covering content all the time    my footer       position  static     fixed  bottom  0
