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.
This question is related to
css
html

sticky-footer
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:
<header>header goes here</header>
<div class="content">This page has little content</div>
<footer>This is my footer</footer>
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_
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_

}
_x000D_
<header>header goes here</header>_x000D_
<div class="content">This page has little content</div>_x000D_
<footer>This is my footer</footer>
_x000D_
... and here's how the same code works with lots of content in the content div:
* {_x000D_
margin:0;_x000D_
padding:0;_x000D_
}_x000D_

NB:
1) The height of the header and footer must be known
2) Old versions of IE (IE8-) and Android (4.4-) don't support viewport units. (caniuse)
3) Once upon a time webkit had a problem with viewport units within a calc rule. This has indeed been fixed (see here) so there's no problem there. However if you're looking to avoid using calc for some reason you can get around that using negative margins and padding with box-sizing -
Like so:

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 > 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 )
jQuery CROSS BROWSER CUSTOM PLUGIN - $.footerBottom()
Or use jQuery like I do, and set your footer height to auto
or to fix
, whatever you like, it will work anyway. this plugin uses jQuery selectors so to make it work, you will have to include the jQuery library to your file.
Here is how you run the plugin. Import jQuery, copy the code of this custom jQuery plugin and import it after importing jQuery! It is very simple and basic, but important.
When you do it, all you have to do is run this code:
$.footerBottom({target:"footer"}); //as html5 tag <footer>.
// You can change it to your preferred "div" with for example class "footer"
// by setting target to {target:"div.footer"}
there is no need to place it inside the document ready event. It will run well as it is. It will recalculate the position of your footer when the page is loaded and when the window get resized.
Here is the code of the plugin which you do not have to understand. Just know how to implement it. It does the job for you. However, if you like to know how it works, just look through the code. I left comments for you.

I found a very clean way to solve this using Flexbox.
Style parent like this:
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex: 1;
min-height: 100vh;
Style footer margin-top: auto
.
That's it!
Demo: https://codepen.io/ferittuncer/pen/Pozdxdm
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="main.css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="page-container">
<div id="content-wrap">
<!-- all other page content -->
</div>
<footer id="footer"></footer>
</div>
</body>
</html>
main.css:
#page-container {
position: relative;
min-height: 100vh;
}
#content-wrap {
padding-bottom: 2.5rem; /* Footer height */
}
#footer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 2.5rem; /* Footer height */
}

Chris Coyier (the venerable CSS-Tricks website) has kept his page on the Sticky-Footer up-to-date, with at least FIVE methods now for creating a sticky footer, including using FlexBox and CSS-Grid.
Why is this important? Because, for me, the earlier/older methods I used for years did not work with React - I had to use Chris' flexbox solution - which was easy and worked.
Below is his CSS-Tricks flexbox Sticky Footer - just look at the code below, it cannot possibly be simpler.
(The (below) StackSnippet example does not perfectly render the bottom of the example. The footer is shown extending past the bottom of the screen, which does not happen in real life.)
html,body{height: 100%;}
body {display:flex; flex-direction:column;}
.content {flex: 1 0 auto;} /* flex: grow / shrink / flex-basis; */
.footer {flex-shrink: 0;}
/* ---- BELOW IS ONLY for demo ---- */
.footer{background: palegreen;}
_x000D_
<body>
<div class="content">Page Content - height expands to fill space</div>
<footer class="footer">Footer Content</footer>
</body>
_x000D_
Chris also demonstrates this CSS-Grid solution for those who prefer grid.
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).
Since the Grid solution hasn't been presented yet, here it is, with just two declarations for the parent element, if we take the height: 100%
and margin: 0
for granted:
html, body {height: 100%}_x000D_
_x000D_
body {_x000D_
display: grid; /* generates a block-level grid */_x000D_
align-content: space-between; /* places an even amount of space between each grid item, with no space at the far ends */_x000D_
margin: 0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.content {_x000D_
background: lightgreen;_x000D_
/* demo / for default snippet window */_x000D_
height: 1em;_x000D_
animation: height 2.5s linear alternate infinite;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
footer {background: lightblue}_x000D_
_x000D_
@keyframes height {to {height: 250px}}
_x000D_
<div class="content">Content</div>_x000D_
<footer>Footer</footer>
_x000D_
The items are evenly distributed within the alignment container along the cross axis. The spacing between each pair of adjacent items is the same. The first item is flush with the main-start edge, and the last item is flush with the main-end edge.
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.
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.
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).
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
}
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 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_
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 :)
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/
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?
CSS :
#container{
width: 100%;
height: 100vh;
}
#container.footer{
float:left;
width:100%;
height:20vh;
margin-top:80vh;
background-color:red;
}
HTML:
<div id="container">
<div class="footer">
</div>
</div>
This should do the trick if you are looking for a responsive footer aligned at the bottom of the page,which always keeps a top-margin of 80% of the viewport height.
One solution would be to set the min-height for the boxes. Unfortunately it seems that it's not well supported by IE (surprise).
Flex layout is preferred for natural header and footer heights. This flex solution is tested in modern browsers and actually works :) in IE11.
HTML

<header>
...
</header>
<main>
...

display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
main {
flex-grow: 1;
flex-shrink: 0;
}
header,
footer {
flex: none;
}
I wasn't having any luck with the solutions suggested on this page before but then finally, this little trick worked. I'll include it as another possible solution.
footer {
position: fixed;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
padding: 1rem;
background-color: #efefef;
text-align: center;
}
display: flex
Solution inspired by Philip Walton's sticky footer.
This solution is valid only for:
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 ----------
<- This element must grow in height
----------------------------
---------- footer ----------
----------------------------
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_
<body>
<div class="content">Hello World!</div>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<footer class="footer"></footer>
</body>
_x000D_
You can play with it at the JSFiddle.
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.
An old thread I know, but if you are looking for a responsive solution, this jQuery addition will help:
$(window).on('resize',sticky);
$(document).bind("ready", function() {
sticky();
});
function sticky() {
var fh = $("footer").outerHeight();
$("#push").css({'height': fh});
$("#wrapper").css({'margin-bottom': -fh});
}

Have a look at http://1linelayouts.glitch.me/, example 4. Una Kravets nails this problem.
This creates a 3 layer page with header, main and footer.
-Your footer will always stay at the bottom, and use space to fit the content;
-Your header will always stay at the top, and use space to fit the content;
-Your main will always use all the available remaining space (remaining fraction of space), enough to fill the screen, if need.

<header class="blue section" contenteditable>Header</header>
<main class="coral section" contenteditable>Main</main>
<footer class="purple section" contenteditable>Footer Content</footer>

.parent {

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;
}
Use absolute positioning and z-index to create a sticky footer div at any resolution using the following steps:
position: absolute; bottom: 0;
and the desired heightdiv
that wraps the body content with position: relative; min-height: 100%;
div
that is equal to the height plus padding of the footerz-index
of the footer greater than the container div
if the footer is clippedHere is an example:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sticky Footer</title>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
.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 */
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="column">
<span>hello</span>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<p>This is a test. This is only a test...</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

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.
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.
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_
<div class="content">_x000D_
some content here_x000D_
</div>_x000D_
<footer class="footer">_x000D_
some content_x000D_
</footer>
