You can finde a preview here: http://www.flashjunior.ch/school/footers/fixed.cfm
You seem to have forgotten an id identifier (#).
footer {...
}
Should be:
#footer {...
}

Fixed.
unless if it works for html 5 (without #), right?
its a new tag in HTML 5, so it can be footer{} instead of #footer anyways :3
You are mistaken, actually in HTML5 “footer” is completely valid if your calling on
<footer>elements and not<div id="footer">elements.For IE6 an alternative expression code used in http://www.ea.com.
To prevent the infinite scroll when #footer have border use negative margin-top of the same width (of the border).
It doesn’t validate unfortunately.
Hi Chris,
With all due respect, I am getting this whole idea started recently and getting also involved with webdesign. any possibility for you to explain do I have to do anything in the html site of it to make this happen or is it that just change the footer info in css page???
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you very much in advance.
( I am working with DW CS4)
Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Falkon
Just put this in the body of the html:
Your text here :D
Put the CSS in the header in tags or place it in an external stylesheet.
Spring into HTML and CSS by Molly E. Holyschlag is a great book for beginners.
Hi guys I tried this code, now I have no footer period…what am I doing wrong? please help.

Hi, this works perfectly on Chrome/Firefox, but doesn’t in Safari – any idea why and how to get around fixing this?
thanks!
Hey bro, your stuff is great…I have one question regarding the fixed footer. One of my clients wants to implement this, but I’d really like it to stop at a point on the y-axis if the browser is a small height. What’s the best way you’ve run across to do this?
Your question is from 2011, but anyway: use CSS media queries to style the footer position differently in those cases. Use the max-height factor.
Hi where is the talked code?
For a centered and fixd footer with all navigators
(Pour un pied de page centré et fixe avec tous les navigateurs)

width=100%;
top:expression((0-(footer.offsetHeight)+(document.documentElement.clientHeight?document.documentElement.clientHeight:document.body.clientHeight)+(ignoreMe=document.documentElement.scrollTop?document.documentElement.scrollTop:document.body.scrollTop))+’px’);

Hi! I’m looking for a similar thing but I rather want it to float on the left or right in the vertical-center.
For example:
If you see http://www.css3.com/css-float/
On the right hand side they have a red button on the above url called “Feedback”
I need something like that with a bit of a shadow to make it look better.
Do you have an example showing such a thing?
Please help! Thank you :-)
Kind Regards,
Ning.
P.S. Btw, this is a very nice tutorial as well and I’ve stored it in my book for when I need a stuck/floating footer.
Lots of thanks! I had a tough time figuring this out :D
Why do we have to set the width to 100% of a div element after declaring it as position:fixed? Does it make it inline?
Not inline, but not 100% wide either. Just one of those weird things.
I wonder how my footer go when I assign my content to auto.. for display data
woked awesome
This works ok but its not very useful to me, I wouldnt ever want the footers position: fixed because with more content the footer is ALWAYS visible which looks rubbish IMO.
Still useful if this is the effect you’re after.
Hi There !

I Search for too numbers of sticky footer but i don’t now what is the BEST of THEM ( Like work with most browsers and … ) ?
Best Regards

what is difference between following css code
footer
{
background:brown;
}
.footer
{
background:brown;
}
The first one would target all elements whereof the tag name is footer (), whereas the second one would target all elements whereof the class name is footer (
<
div class=”footer”>).
Thank You guys so much.
alert(“security problem”)
Just one thing thought.
How can I make sure that other html elements do not go behind the footer. It’s quite anoying and renders them unreadable.
Check out the jsfiddle Here
Thank You,
