CSS Sticky Footer Layout

It Sticks to the Bottom of the Page!

See that footer, way down there? It's stuck to the bottom of the page even when thin on content. Otherwise it would be floating halfway up the page.

Cross Browser Support for Sticky Footer Code

This sticky footer solution is working in all major browsers, including Chrome and IE 8! It works in HTML5 and with floated 2-column layouts and we don't get overlap in resized browser windows unlike older solutions you find when you Google sticky footer. You don't need an empty push div or cleafix hack. Here is how to use this sticky footer code.

* {margin:0;padding:0;} 

/* must declare 0 margins on everything, also for main layout components use padding, not 
vertical margins (top and bottom) to add spacing, else those margins get added to total height 
and your footer gets pushed down a bit more, creating vertical scroll bars in the browser */

html, body {height: 100%;}

#wrap {min-height: 100%;}

#main {overflow:auto;
 padding-bottom: 180px;}  /* must be same height as the footer */

#footer {position: relative;
 margin-top: -180px; /* negative value of footer height */
 height: 180px;
 clear:both;} 

/*Opera Fix*/
body:before {/* thanks to Maleika (Kohoutec)*/
content:"";
height:100%;
float:left;
width:0;
margin-top:-32767px;/* thank you Erik J - negate effect of float*/
}



/* IMPORTANT

You also need to include this conditional style in the <head> of your HTML file to feed this style to IE 6 and lower and 8 and higher.

<!--[if !IE 7]>
 <style type="text/css">
  #wrap {display:table;height:100%}
 </style>
<![endif]-->

Background - Shorthand property

As you can see from the examples above, there are many properties to consider when dealing with backgrounds.

To shorten the code, it is also possible to specify all the properties in one single property. This is called a shorthand property.

The shorthand property for background is simply "background":

Example

body {background:#ffffff url('img_tree.png') no-repeat right top;}

When using the shorthand property the order of the property values is:

background-color
background-image
background-repeat
background-attachment
background-position

It does not matter if one of the property values is missing, as long as the ones that are present are in this order.
