Good day,
I've been trying to build a perfect footer who sticks at the bottom of the browser window after it's content. And I got help here @ Stack Overflow previously.
But after a while, and doing a few tests, found out that after the browser window is resized, and then I scroll down , the footer overlaps...it is causing me a big headache right now and I'd like to fix this so I can move on.
I'm going to post the display.css right here:
@charset "utf-8";
body, html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
position: relative;
min-height:100%; /* needed for footer positioning*/
height:100%; /* needed for footer positioning*/
}
.spacer {
clear: both;
height: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0.1em;
}
.spacer_left {
clear: left;
margin: 0 0 10px 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 0.1em;
}
hr {
height: 1px;
margin: 20px 0 20px 0;
border: 0;
color: #ccc;
background: #ccc;
}
#container {
position:relative; /* needed for footer positioning*/
min-height: 100%;/* needed for footer positioning*/
height: auto !important;/* needed for footer positioning*/
height: 100%;/* needed for footer positioning*/
margin: 0 auto -30px;/* needed for footer positioning*/
width: 1160px;
padding: 0;
border: 1px solid #333;
text-align: left;
}
#header {
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
height:70px;
}
#login {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 15px;
color:#FFF;
text-align: right;
width: 440px;
margin: 2px;
}
#login .theInput {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 14px;
width: 110px;
margin-right: 5px;
}
#login .theSubmit {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 10px;
background-color: #333333;
color: #FFFFFF;
margin-right: 5px;
}
h1#lineainvisible {
width:1160px;
height:4px;
position:relative;
margin-top:4px;
visibility: inherit;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
}
ul#nav {
width:100%;
height:36px;
display:block;
background-color:#000;
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
#wrapthatbanner {
display:block;
float:left;
width:100%;
height:524px;
margin-bottom:20px;
}
#content {
margin: 0px 20px 30px 20px; /* needed for footer positioning*/
}
.panelsreadmore {
margin-right: 10px;
text-align:right;
}
div#content.columns {
margin-left: 100px;
}
#content abbr, #content acronym {
cursor: help;
border-bottom: 1px dotted;
}
#content ul {
list-style-type: square;
margin-left: 75px;
}
#content ul li, #content ol li {
margin: 0 0 0.4em 0;
padding: 0;
}
#content blockquote {
width: 75%;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 20px;
}
#contentLeft {
float: left;
width:580px;
}
#contentRight {
float: right;
width:580px;
}
.sitenote {
display:block;
padding:6px;
border:1px solid #bae2f0;
background:#e3f4f9;
line-height:130%;
font-size:13px;
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 0.5em;
margin-left: 0;
}
#footer, .push /* needed for footer positioning*/ {
padding: 5px;
clear: both;
position:absolute;/* needed for footer positioning*/
bottom:0;/* needed for footer positioning*/
height: -30px;/* needed for footer positioning*/
width:1150px;
}
And this is the HTML Template File.
