css sticky footer without scrollbar


How to do to avoid having the scroller with a sticky footer to the bottom of the page (not bottom of window)? When I remove height=100% from content and sidebar, I'm no more getting the scroller. However, when doing so, my content and sidebar do not fill all the space down to the footer.

Solution

  • Here is finally one solution (I don't remember where I get this code .... it's not mine ;-) ) :

        height: 100%; /* IE6: treaded as min-height*/;
        min-height: 100%; /* real browsers */
    }
    div#header {
        padding: 1em;

        border-bottom: 6px double gray;
    }
    div#content {
        padding: 1em 1em 5em; /* bottom padding for footer */
    }
    div#footer {
        position: absolute;
        width: 100%;
        bottom: 0; /* stick to bottom */;
        background: #ddd;
        border-top: 6px double gray;
    }
    </style>
