Stick Footer Permit For Free

You set the #main-outlet height to be 100% of the viewport height (100vh) minus the height of the footer and header. So on short pages your footer will now sit right at the bottom.

Sticky Footer with Position Fixed The footer is positioned using flexbox so that it stays at the bottom of the page even if the content doesn't fill the entire page vertically. If this content goes past the length of the page, the footer will behave like a regular footer and will continue to get pushed down.

An element with position: sticky; is positioned based on the user's scroll position. A sticky element toggles between relative and fixed , depending on the scroll position. It is positioned relative until a given offset position is met in the viewport - then it "sticks" in place (like position:fixed).

Components - Sticky header Sticky content is one that will stay positioned once the user scrolls past it (i.e: stuck in position). Unlike position: fixed; , sticky content is limited by its container and will stop scrolling once the end of the parent element is reached.

A sticky footer pattern is one where the footer of your page "sticks" to the bottom of the viewport in cases where the content is shorter than the viewport height. We'll look at a couple of techniques for creating one in this recipe.

Set margin on the footer Because you set the Body ? the footer's parent element ? to Flex, you can set the top margin on the footer element to Auto. This makes the footer push away from the content above, causing the footer to stick to the bottom of the page.

You can use flexbox to ensure that the footer is always at the bottom of the page. This is done by setting the giving the body element min-height: 100vh , display: flex and flex-direction: column .

The footer, rather than staying at the bottom of the page where we would want it to stay, rises up and leaves a blank space beneath it. For a quick fix, you can absolutely position the footer at the bottom of the page.
