For a long time I’ve been looking for a simple solution to make a footer stick to the bottom of the page until I came across this solution. Best of all is that it works with the major browsers: Internet Explorer 5 and up, Firefox, Safari, Opera.

This is how you do it
Add the following lines of CSS to your stylesheet. The negative value for the margin in .wrapper
is the same number as the height of .footer
and .push
. The negative margin should always equal to the full height of the footer (including any padding or borders you may add).
* { margin: 0; } html, body { height: 100%; } .wrapper { min-height: 100%; height: auto !important; height: 100%; margin: 0 auto -4em; } .footer, .push { height: 4em; }
Follow this HTML structure. No content can be outside of the .wrapper and .footer div tags unless it is absolutely positioned with CSS.
<html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="layout.css" … /> </head> <body> <div class="wrapper"> <p>Your website content here.</p> <div class="push"></div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p>Copyright (c) 2008</p> </div> </body> </html>
