Bootstrap sticky footer with image

What I am trying to achieve is a page with a sticky footer, which is a vector island.

  1. The island is always at the bottom of the page, but when the browser height is too small it invokes vertical scrolling.

  2. Behind the island is a sunburst that then falls behind all the page content. This is quite big, about 1417px high. This doesn't affect vertical scrolling though.

Here is what I have so far and I've been stuck for hours! Any help would be appreciated.

Solution

  • It would be better to use the images as background images in css:

    see https://jsfiddle.net/6t9vxq1o/1/

    .body{
    height:100%;
    background: url(http://i.imgur.com/wSNrfJD.png) no-repeat center bottom;   
}
#wrap{
    background:url(http://i.imgur.com/alDv0tE.png) no-repeat center bottom;   
}

    This way the images will be always on bottom, the sunburst behind the content, and the grass behind the footer
