CSS Footer Position Stick to Bottom of Browser

CSS to make HTML page footer stay at bottom of the page with a minimum height, but not overlap the page

A simple method is to make the body 100% of your page, with a min-height of 100% too. This works fine if the height of your footer does not change.

Give the footer a negative margin-top:

footer {
    clear: both;
    position: relative;
    height: 200px;
    margin-top: -200px;
}

css footer position stick to bottom of browser?

This is always a bit difficult, you could increase the min-height of your content area, but even then if someone has a really big screen you'd see the same thing.

You could use a bit of JavaScript to increase the min-height if someone has a huge viewport but that's still less than elegant. I'm not sure if there is a CSS-only solution to this.

If you want to try the above the code I just posted here: Is detecting scrollbar presence with jQuery still difficult? may be of use to you.

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

To get a sticky footer:

1. Have a <div> with class="wrapper" for your content.

2. Right before the closing </div> of the wrapper place the
   <div class="push"></div>.

3. Right after the closing </div> of the wrapper place the
   <div class="footer"></div>.

* {
    margin: 0;
}
html, body {
    height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto -142px; /* the bottom margin is the negative value of the footer's height */
}
.footer, .push {
    height: 142px; /* .push must be the same height as .footer */
}
