Flushing footer to bottom of the page, twitter bootstrap

css twitter-bootstrap footer

I am generally familiar with the technique of flushing a footer using css.

But I am having some trouble getting this approach to work for Twitter bootstrap, most likely due to the fact that Twitter bootstrap is responsive in nature. Using Twitter bootstrap I am not able to get the footer to flush to the bottom of the page using the approach described in the above blog post.

Before test all answers below keep in mind the OP wants to have it working with twitter bootstrap.As it is not a must, twitter bootstrap works with Jquery,what means it is Javascript enabled.For that reason just test my answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/10099422/…

Official example : getbootstrap.com/examples/sticky-footer-navbar/…

Link is broken! Can anyone please fix the official example link?

@PassionInfinite getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/examples/sticky-footer-navbar it may become older version in future because of 4.0 i guess.

This is now included with Bootstrap 2.2.1.

Bootstrap 3.x

Use the navbar component and add .navbar-fixed-bottom class:

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-bottom"></div>

Bootstrap 4.x

<div class="navbar fixed-bottom"></div>

Don't forget to add body { padding-bottom: 70px; } or otherwise the page content may be covered.

Docs: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#navbar-fixed-bottom

@ChuanYeong Unfortunately there is no navbar-static-bottom.

@MikeCurry he not asked about a fixed footer, but a one that "fills" the empty space, if your page don't have enough content to make the footer stays at bottom. If your footer is only informational, a fixed one is only taking valuable space.

This is not sticky footer, because it is used position:fixed; which is not right

Yep this solution only flushes to the bottom of the viewport not the bottom of the page. i.e. the footer is always visible.

Had to downvote the answer because it give confusion.The OP not wants a sticky footer.

Found the snippets here works really well for bootstrap

Html:

<div id="wrap">
  <div id="main" class="container clear-top">
    <p>Your content here</p>
  </div>
</div>
<footer class="footer"></footer>

CSS:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
}

#wrap {
  min-height: 100%;
}

#main {
  overflow:auto;
  padding-bottom:150px; /* this needs to be bigger than footer height*/
}

.footer {
  position: relative;
  margin-top: -150px; /* negative value of footer height */
  height: 150px;
  clear:both;
  padding-top:20px;
}

This is the best solution I have attempted so far. Accepted this as the answer.

Hi, I've implement this method, it works great but now I've got some problems with displaying page on iphone (page is zoomed in). Any ideas what is the problem? Here is some details: stackoverflow.com/questions/18621090/…

Just in case you've read this answer and not scrolled down it's worth looking at the other answers

especialy this one: stackoverflow.com/questions/10099422/…

This is best method I have found for Bootstrap. For device responsiveness remember to use media queries to update #main and .footer heights for different screen sizes

A working example for Twitter bootstrap NOT STICKY FOOTER

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

    var docHeight = $(window).height();
    var footerHeight = $('#footer').height();
    var footerTop = $('#footer').position().top + footerHeight;

    if (footerTop < docHeight)
        $('#footer').css('margin-top', 10+ (docHeight - footerTop) + 'px');
});
</script>

Version that always updates in case user opens devtools or resizes window.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        setInterval(function() {
            var docHeight = $(window).height();
            var footerHeight = $('#footer').height();
            var footerTop = $('#footer').position().top + footerHeight;
            var marginTop = (docHeight - footerTop + 10);

            if (footerTop < docHeight)
                $('#footer').css('margin-top', marginTop + 'px'); // padding of 30 on footer
            else
                $('#footer').css('margin-top', '0px');
            // console.log("docheight: " + docHeight + "\n" + "footerheight: " + footerHeight + "\n" + "footertop: " + footerTop + "\n" + "new docheight: " + $(window).height() + "\n" + "margintop: " + marginTop);
        }, 250);
    });
</script>

You need at least an element with a #footer

When not want the scrollbar if content would fit to screen just change the value of 10 to 0 The scrollbar will show up if content not fits to screen.

Yeah, I went with this one too. CSS can be so stupid sometimes. Not that it's impossible, but general purpose solutions can be hard to come by, and fixing annoying things like this in our layouts shouldn't take trips to stack exchange, multiple gist revisions, cross-browswer testing, and eventual surrender to a simple JS trick. Yeah, I feel a bit dirty, but at least it works.

every single solution I've looked at is wrong. This is the ONLY one that actually does what it's supposed to do - stick the footer to the bottom of the page, without obscuring any content if the browser is resized.

it didnt work quiet as well as expected for me, still, one of the better answers, i fixed my issue by replacing $('#footer').height(); with $('#footer').outerHeight();

Great answer! I had a couple adaptations that I think improve it here: stackoverflow.com/a/36385654/8207

The best answer I've found. If you want it to work after window resize just put the main code from the answer inside $(window).resize(function() {//main code goes here}); and invoke $(window).resize(); to set it when page loads.

For Sticky Footer we use two DIV's in the HTML for basic sticky footer effect. Write like this:

HTML

<div class="container"></div>

<div class="footer"></div>

CSS

body,html {
    height:100%;
}
.container {
    min-height:100%;
}
.footer {
    height:40px;
    margin-top:-40px;
}

He said he's using Twitter Bootstrap. What would be the easiest way of integrating this into Bootstrap without completely rewriting the HTML?

If OP want's to achieve Sticky Footer effect then he have to change his MarkUp

Thank you! This has been the only method that has actually worked for me in an ASP.NET MVC5 site that uses Bootstrap. +1

Leniel Maccaferri

Here's how to implement this from the official page:

http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/examples/sticky-footer.html

I just tested it right now and it WORKS GREAT! :)

HTML

<body>

    <!-- Part 1: Wrap all page content here -->
    <div id="wrap">

      <!-- Begin page content -->
      <div class="container">
        <div class="page-header">
          <h1>Sticky footer</h1>
        </div>
        <p class="lead">Pin a fixed-height footer to the bottom of the viewport in desktop browsers with this custom HTML and CSS.</p>
      </div>

      <div id="push"></div>
    </div>

    <div id="footer">
      <div class="container">
        <p class="muted credit">Example courtesy <a href="http://martinbean.co.uk">Martin Bean</a> and <a href="http://ryanfait.com/sticky-footer/">Ryan Fait</a>.</p>
      </div>
    </div>
</body>

The relevant CSS code is this:

/* Sticky footer styles
-------------------------------------------------- */
html,
body {
    height: 100%;
    /* The html and body elements cannot have any padding or margin. */
}

/* Wrapper for page content to push down footer */
#wrap {
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    /* Negative indent footer by it's height */
    margin: 0 auto -30px;
}

/* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
#push,
#footer {
    height: 30px;
}

#footer {
    background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

/* Lastly, apply responsive CSS fixes as necessary */
@media (max-width: 767px) {
    #footer {
        margin-left: -20px;
        margin-right: -20px;
        padding-left: 20px;
        padding-right: 20px;
    }
}

Thanks for posting this, it was definitely the best solution (not to mention the only one that worked) for my particular project, and of course it's nice that it's directly from the project itself.

I don't know what the deal was, but I couldn't get it to work without adding a scroll to the pages. I ended up changing the .wrapper CSS so the min-height was "calc(100% - 120px)" where the 120px is the height of my footer and removed the

from the html since it didn't seem to be doing anything aside from adding height to the page I didn't need.

user

Much simpler official example: http://getbootstrap.com/examples/sticky-footer-navbar/

html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
}
body {
  margin-bottom: 60px;
}
.footer {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 60px;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

Mohamed Ali JAMAOUI

In the latest version of bootstrap 4.3, this can be done using .fixed-bottom class.

<div class="fixed-bottom"></div>

Here's how I use it with the footer:

<footer class="footer fixed-bottom container">
        <hr>
        <p>&copy; 2017 Company, Inc.</p>
</footer>

You can find more information in the position documentation here.

This still works with the official 4 version unleashed.

Note that the example at getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/examples/sticky-footer has a line-height=60px style on the footer element. This is not only unnecessary, it also prevents the footer from working properly if it's the parent of one or more div elements, which is commonly the case.

ikonuk

Use the flex utilities built into Bootstrap 4! Here's what I've come up with using mostly Bootstrap 4 utilities.

<div class="d-flex flex-column" style="min-height: 100vh;">
  <header></header>
  <div class="container flex-grow-1">
    <div>Some Content</div>
  </div>
  <footer></footer>
</div>

.d-flex to make the main div a flex container

.flex-column on the main div to arrange your flex items in a column

min-height: 100vh to the main div, either with a style attribute or in your CSS, to fill the viewport vertically

.flex-grow-1 on the container, element to have the main content container take up all the space that remains in the viewport height.

Instead of min-height: 100vh the min-vh-100 class from Bootstrap can be used.

This solution worked great including the min-vh-100 suggestion from @ikonuk

I just wanted to say THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for this answer! I've tried it here: link However, I needed to set the style as the min-vh-100 class didn't work for me. Any idea why?

Maxim Shoustin

Well I found mix of navbar-inner and navbar-fixed-bottom

<div id="footer">
 <div class="navbar navbar-inner  navbar-fixed-bottom">
    <p class="muted credit"><center>ver 1.0.1</center></p>
 </div>
</div>

It seems good and works for me

https://i.stack.imgur.com/Oe6c6.png

See example in Fiddle

simplest and most elegant solution. Be leery of home brewing your own css code as it will not be backwards compatible with bootstrap

I used this, and had a problem on an old android (froy maybe?) with pages that were shorter than the screen. Otherwise it worked well on FF, Chrome, IE11, iPhone, nexus 7.

Perfect and extremely simple!

HenryW's answer is good, though I needed a few tweaks to get it working how I wanted. In particular the following also handles:

Avoiding the "jumpiness" on page load by first marking invisible and setting visible in javascript

Dealing with browser resizes gracefully

Additionally setting the footer back up the page if the browser gets smaller and the footer becomes bigger than the page

Height function tweaks

Here's what worked for me with those tweaks:

HTML:

<div id="footer" class="invisible">My sweet footer</div>

CSS:

#footer {
    padding-bottom: 30px;
}

JavaScript:

function setFooterStyle() {
    var docHeight = $(window).height();
    var footerHeight = $('#footer').outerHeight();
    var footerTop = $('#footer').position().top + footerHeight;
    if (footerTop < docHeight) {
        $('#footer').css('margin-top', (docHeight - footerTop) + 'px');
    } else {
        $('#footer').css('margin-top', '');
    }
    $('#footer').removeClass('invisible');
}
$(document).ready(function() {
    setFooterStyle();
    window.onresize = setFooterStyle;
});

Keep the footer at the bottom by using Bootstrap 5


    <div class="min-vh-100 d-flex flex-column 
                justify-content-between">
     
         <div> <!-- Wrapper (Without footer) -->
       
            <header>
             I am a header.
            </header>
      
            <article>
            I am an article!
            </article>
       
        </div> <!-- End: Wrapper (Without footer) -->
     
     
         <footer>
         I am a footer.
         </footer>
     
    </div>

Live Demo in CodePen

Note

Make sure that you are wrapping everything in a

or any other block-level element with the following Bootstrap classes: min-vh-100, d-flex,flex-column,justify-content-between .

Make sure that you are wrapping everything but the footer element in a

or any other block-level element.

This worked for me perfectly.

Add this class navbar-fixed-bottom to your footer.

<div class="footer navbar-fixed-bottom">

I used it like this:

<div class="container-fluid footer navbar-fixed-bottom">
<!-- start footer -->
</div>

And it sets to bottom over the the full width.

Edit: This will set footer to always visible, it's something you need to take in consideration.

Andres Ilich

You need to wrap your .container-fluid div in order for your sticky footer to work, you're also missing some properties on your .wrapper class. Try this:

Remove the padding-top:70px from your body tag and include it in your .container-fluid instead, like so:

.wrapper > .container-fluid {
    padding-top: 70px;
}

We have to do this because pushing the body down to accommodate the navbar ends up pushing the footer a bit further (70px further) past the viewport so we get a scrollbar. We get better results pushing the .container-fluid div instead.

Next we have to remove the .wrapper class outside your .container-fluid div and wrap your #main div with it, like so:

<div class="wrapper">
    <div id="main" class="container-fluid">
        <div class="row-fluid">...</div>
        <div class="push"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Your footer of course has to be out of the .wrapper div so remove it from the `.wrapper div and place it outside, like so:

<div class="wrapper">
    ....
</div>
<footer class="container-fluid">
    ....
</footer><!--END .row-fluid-->

After thats all done, properly push your footer closer to your .wrapper class by using a negative margin, like so:

.wrapper {
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important; /* ie7 fix */
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto -43px;
}

And that should work, though you're probably going to have to modify a few other things to make it work when the screen is resized, like resetting the height on the .wrapper class, like so:

@media (max-width:480px) {
   .wrapper {
      height:auto;
   }
}

This is the right way to do it with Twitter Bootstrap and the new navbar-fixed-bottom class: (you have no idea how long I spent looking for this)

CSS:

html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
}
#content {
  padding-bottom: 50px;
}
#footer .navbar{
  position: absolute;
}

HTML:

<html>
  <body>
    <div id="content">...</div>
    <div id="footer">
      <div class="navbar navbar-fixed-bottom">
        <div class="navbar-inner">
          <div class="container">
            <ul class="nav">
              <li><a href="#">Menu 1</a></li>
              <li><a href="#">Menu 2</a></li>
            </ul>
          </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</body>
</html>

Admin File3

Use the navbar component and add .navbar-fixed-bottom class:

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-bottom"></div>

add body

  { padding-bottom: 70px; }

Bootstrap v4+ solution

Here's a solution that doesn't require rethinking the HTML structure or any additional CSS trickery involving padding:

<html style="height:100%;">
  ...
  <body class="d-flex flex-column h-100">
    ...
    <main class="flex-grow-1">...</main>
    <footer>...</footer>
  </body>
  ...
</html>

Note that this solution allows for footers with flexible heights, which particularly comes in handy when designing pages for multiple screen sizes with content wrapping when shrunk.

Why this works

style="height:100%;" makes the tag take the whole space of the document.

class d-flex sets display:flex to our tag.

class flex-column sets flex-direction:column to our tag. Its children (

1-14x0r

to handle width constraint layouts use the following so that you do not get rounded corners, and so that your nav bar will be flush to the sides of the application

<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-bottom">
    <div class="navbar-inner">
        <div class="width-constraint clearfix">
            <p class="pull-left muted credit">YourApp v1.0.0</p>

            <p class="pull-right muted credit">©2013 • CONFIDENTIAL ALL RIGHTS RESERVED</p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

then you can use css to override the bootstrap classes to adjust height, font, and color

    .navbar-fixed-bottom {
      font-size: 12px;
      line-height: 18px;
    }
    .navbar-fixed-bottom .navbar-inner {
        min-height: 22px;
    }
    .navbar-fixed-bottom .p {
        margin: 2px 0 2px;
    }

DucCuong

You can use jQuery to handle this:

$(function() {
    /**
     * Read the size of the window and reposition the footer at the bottom.
     */
    var stickyFooter = function(){
        var pageHeight = $('html').height();
        var windowHeight = $(window).height();
        var footerHeight = $('footer').outerHeight();

        // A footer with 'fixed-bottom' has the CSS attribute "position: absolute",
        // and thus is outside of its container and counted in $('html').height().
        var totalHeight = $('footer').hasClass('fixed-bottom') ?
            pageHeight + footerHeight : pageHeight;

        // If the window is larger than the content, fix the footer at the bottom.
        if (windowHeight >= totalHeight) {
            return $('footer').addClass('fixed-bottom');
        } else {
            // If the page content is larger than the window, the footer must move.
            return $('footer').removeClass('fixed-bottom');
        }
    };

    // Call when this script is first loaded.
    window.onload = stickyFooter;

    // Call again when the window is resized.
    $(window).resize(function() {
        stickyFooter();
    });
});

The simplest technique is probably to use Bootstrap navbar-static-bottom in conjunction with setting the main container div with height: 100vh (new CSS3 view port percentage). This will flush the footer to the bottom.

<main class="container" style="height: 100vh;">
  some content
</main>      
<footer class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-bottom">
  <div class="container">
  <p class="navbar-text navbar-left">&copy; Footer4U</p>
  </div>
</footer>

Dušan Maďar

Tested with Bootstrap 3.6.6.

HTML

<div class="container footer navbar-fixed-bottom">
  <footer>
    <!-- your footer content here -->
  </footer>
</div>

CSS

.footer {
  bottom: 0;
  position: absolute;
}

Ricardo

The only one that worked for me!:

html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
  padding-bottom:90px;
}
body {
  margin-bottom: 90px;
}
footer {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 90px;
}

Per the Bootstrap 4.3 example, in case you're losing your sanity like I did, this is how it actually works:

All parents of the footer div need to have height: 100% (h-100 class)

The direct parent of the footer needs to have display: flex (d-flex class)

The footer needs to have margin-top: auto (mt-auto class)

The problem is that in modern front-end frameworks we often have additional wrappers around these elements.

For example in my case, with Angular, I composed the view from a separate app root, main app component, and footer component - all of which added their custom element to the DOM.

So, to make it work, I had to add classes to these wrapper elements: an additional h-100, moving the d-flex one level down, and moving the mt-auto one level up from the footer (so actually it's not on the footer class anymore, but on my <app-footer> custom element).

I had to put class="h-100" to the <html> tag too.

Sharpless512

#wrap {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
/*Negative indent footer by its height*/
margin: 0 auto -60px;
position: fixed;
left: 0;
top: 0;
}

The footer height matches the size of the bottom indent of the wrap element.

.footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
height: 60px;
}

originalhat

Keep it simple.

footer {
  bottom: 0;
  position: absolute;
}

You may need to also offset the height of the footer by adding a margin-bottom equivalent to the footer height to the body.

Tom T

Here's a solution for the newest version of Bootstrap (4.3 at time of writing) using Flexbox.

HTML:

<div class="wrapper">
  <div class="content">
    <p>Content goes here</p>
  </div>
</div>
<footer class="footer"></footer>

CSS:

html, body {
  height: 100%;
}

body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
}

.wrapper {
  flex-grow: 1;
}

And a codepen example: https://codepen.io/tillytoby/pen/QPdomR

sanjay

Use this piece of code in bootstrap it's works

<div class="navbar fixed-bottom">
<div class="container">
 <p class="muted credit">Footer <a href="http://google.com">Link</a> and <a 
href="http://google.com/">link</a>.</p>
 </div>
 </div>

brains911

It looks like the height:100% 'chain' is being broken at div#main. Try adding height:100% to it and that may get you closer to your goal.

Hannes

Here you'll find the approach in HAML ( http://haml.info ) with navbar on top and footer at the bottom of the page:

%body
  #main{:role => "main"}
    %header.navbar.navbar-fixed-top
      %nav.navbar-inner
        .container
          /HEADER
      .container
        /BODY
    %footer.navbar.navbar-fixed-bottom
      .container
        .row
          /FOOTER

Could you elaborate on your answer a bit? Code-only answers are generally discouraged.

Okay, what do you want to know?

I don't need to know it, but someone coming to this site later might not know exactly why your answer's code does what it does.

Probably I should delete it. I wrote a new intro. :)

Victor

Here is an example using css3:

CSS:

html, body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}
#wrap {
    padding: 10px;
    min-height: -webkit-calc(100% - 100px);     /* Chrome */
    min-height: -moz-calc(100% - 100px);     /* Firefox */
    min-height: calc(100% - 100px);     /* native */
}
.footer {
    position: relative;
    clear:both;
}

HTML:

<div id="wrap">
    <div class="container clear-top">
       body content....
    </div>
</div>
<footer class="footer">
    footer content....
</footer>

This is how bootstrap does it:

Just use page source and you should be able to see. Don' forget the <div id="wrap"> an the top.
