Align Element to the bottom of a div container and stay there when scrolling

the trashcan moves up when scrolling down and it doesnt span over the full width of the parent div

I want it to be like this:

.ParentDiv {
background: red;

overflow-y: scroll;

border: none;
float: left;
position: relative;
height: 80px;
width: 200px;
}



#DivAroundTrashcan{
    
    position:fixed;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 15px;
    }
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>
<body>

<div class="ParentDiv" id="ParentDiv" >
<p1><center>efgf </center></p1>
<p2><center>wefwf </center></p2>
<p3><center>wefwef </center></p3>
<p4><center>wefwef </center></p4>
<p5><center>wefwef </center></p5>
<p6><center>wefweff </center></p6>
<p7><center>wefwef</center></p7>
<p8><center>wefwef </center></p8>

        <div id="DivAroundTrashcan"><input type="button"id="Trashcan"value="&#128465"></div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

position:absolute; just makes it stay where it is, but when scrolling it doesnt stay in place

Solution

  • You can use flex on your container:

    html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  /*following is for demo only - not sure what gives your container height */
  height: 100%;
}

.scroll {
  flex-grow: 1;
  overflow: auto;
}

.bin {
  text-align: right;
}
    <div class="container">
  <div class="scroll">
    content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br> content
    <br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br> content
    <br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br> content
    <br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>  content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>content<br>
  </div>
  <div class="bin">bottom bin content</div>
</div>
