Make footer stick to bottom of page correctly [duplicate]
The simplest solution is to use min-height on the <html> tag and position the <footer> with position:absolute;
Demo: jsfiddle and SO snippet:
html {
position: relative;
min-height: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0 0 100px;
/* bottom = footer height */
padding: 25px;
}
footer {
background-color: orange;
position: absolute;
left: 0;
bottom: 0;
height: 100px;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}<article>
<!-- or <div class="container">, etc. -->
<h1>James Dean CSS Sticky Footer</h1>
<p>Blah blah blah blah</p>
<p>More blah blah blah</p>
</article>
<footer>
<h1>Footer Content</h1>
</footer>Why not using: { position: fixed; bottom: 0 } ?
A simple solution that i use, works from IE8+
Give min-height:100% on html so that if content is less then still page takes full view-port height and footer sticks at bottom of page. When content increases the footer shifts down with content and keep sticking to bottom.
