In this tutorial, we will learn how to create a sticky footer using CSS. The first step is to create a footer container. To do this, we will use the <div> element. This element will act as a container for our footer content. We can add any HTML elements inside the <div> element, such as text, images, links, etc. Here is an example of how to create a footer container:
<div id="footer">
<!-- Footer content goes here -->
</div>
We can also add additional attributes to the <div> element, such as a class or an ID. This will help us target the footer container with CSS and JavaScript. For example:
<div id="footer" class="footer">
<!-- Footer content goes here -->
</div>
We can also add additional styling to the footer container using CSS. For example, we can set the background color, font size, and other properties. To learn more about styling with CSS, check out W3Schools CSS Tutorials.
Now that you have created the footer container, it's time to add content to it. You can add any type of content you want, such as text, images, links, etc. To do this, simply use HTML elements such as <p>, <img>, <a>, etc. For example, if you want to add a link to an external website, you can use the following code:
<a href="https://www.example.com">Example Website</a>It's important to note that when using <a> tags, the URL should be accessible and stripped. This means that it should not contain any unnecessary characters or spaces. Additionally, using <a> tags is beneficial for SEO purposes.
In this step, we will set the footer container to position fixed. This will make sure that the footer stays at the bottom of the page, no matter how much content is added. To do this, we will use the position: fixed; CSS property. We will also need to set the bottom property to 0, so that the footer is always at the bottom of the page.
footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
}
Now that we have set the footer container to position fixed, we can move on to setting the bottom margin of the footer container in the next step. For more information on using CSS to create a sticky footer, check out this tutorial from W3Schools.
Now that we have our footer container set to position fixed, we need to set the bottom margin of the footer container. This will ensure that the footer is always visible at the bottom of the page. To do this, we will use the margin-bottom property in CSS. We can set this property to any value we want, but for this tutorial, we will set it to 0px. This will ensure that the footer is always visible at the bottom of the page.
footer {
position: fixed;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
Now that we have our footer container set to position fixed and its bottom margin set to 0px, our sticky footer is complete! You can find more CSS Tips on our website.
