Sticky footer, along with scrolling div without specific height - javascript

I'd like a page with a sticky footer, and I'd like the content above it to be scroll-able, while maintaining the stickiness of the footer. But I don't want to hard-code the height of the content area, but instead would like its height to be all the available height except for the height of the footer.
In the long run I would even like for the height of the scroll-able content area to be re-sizable if the window is re-sized, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm presuming I'm going to need a combination of CSS and Javascript to acheive this, that CSS alone cannot acheive it?
I've researched of course and have found the CSS overflow property, but my CSS in general is not very good :( Below is some CSS/HTML I've cobbled together based on ryanfait.com's sticky footer tutorial, if somebody can give me some advice using this as a starting point. Bear in mind, I will need straight Javascript, not jQuery, as this will be used in a custom browser (http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html). My Javascript unlike my CSS though is pretty good, so an answer combining specific CSS suggestions with general Javascript suggestions (which I will then flesh out), would be ideal.
<html>
<head>
<style>
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -4em;
}
.footer, .push {
height: 4em;
}
</style>

<div class="wrapper">

<div class="push"></div>
</div>
<div class="footer">
<p>Copyright (c) 2008</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
EDIT: What I've attempted based on first two answers:
I've made the following modifications to the CSS based on parts of the two answers received so far:
<style>
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto -4em;
overflow-y: scroll;
}
.footer {
bottom: 0;
height: 4em;
position: fixed;
}
</style>
What this gives me in Chrome are two scrollbars, one very faint, but the more prominent one still allowing content that overflows (maybe I'm using the term incorrectly?) outside of the wrapper area, and over the top (or under the bottom) of the footer, plus outside the entire body. Thanks for help making progress but I still need quite a bit of help. Here's a link to a screenshot of what I'm seeing; I used http://www.ipsum-generator.com/ to generate all the content.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/44728447/dynamic_wrapper_sticky_footer.JPG

html, body {
height:100%;
overflow:hidden;
}
.wrapper {
overflow-y:scroll;
height: 90%;
}
.footer {
position:static;
bottom: 0;
height: 10%;
}
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vfSM3/

On the footer div use position fixed and bottom 0 like:
.footer {
bottom: 0;
height: 4em;
position: fixed;
}

If you want to use fixed height on the footer, you could do the following
.wrapper{
overflow-y:scroll;
height:calc(100% - 20px);
}
.footer {
position:static;
bottom: 0;
height: 20px;
}
Note that you need to use the spaces here "100% - 20px" in order for it to work.

How to fix the website view not above 1440px

My current website is this https://resillience.in
It is completely responsive below 1440px and works fine
But it looks wierd when viewed at 2560px as shown below
Don't want to change the things also in % to make it responsive at 2560px
How to fix the view at 1440px and have a work around like shown below
If viewed at higher, it adds padding from both sides.
Also adding max-width:1440px in the main html css file, I cannot achieve the desired result
The following code also might not solve
#root {
max-width: 1400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
Because some of the images are having its css property as
position: fixed;
right: 0;
In general,you can apply this CSS to your #root element:
#root {
max-width: 1400px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
This will limit the overall width at 1400px and center it horizontally when the window is wider than 1400px.
I don't know if there are any details in other pages of your website which would cause a problem in conjunction with those settings (I don't see any at first sight), but this would be an easy, general procedure to get what you are asking for.
add justify-content: flex-end; to right side menu and I had changed some CSS to look beautiful. Please go through this.
.jss6 {
justify-content: flex-end;
}
.jss7, .jss18 {
margin: 0 10px; /* to add space between a tag and dropdown */
}
.active {
border: none;
}
.active::before {
position: absolute;
height: 6px;
width: 100%;
background: #3672c0;
content: '';
left: 0;
bottom: -3px;
}
try do the following:
#root {
width: 100%;
}
#media (min-width: 1440px) {
#root {
width: 1440px;
margin: 0 auto; // for centering
}
}
setting the width to fixed-size might solve the issue, from my quick review, why? cuz u probably used width: 100% inside the root div, so setting the root div to fixed-size always be related to that 100% = 1440px; :) let me know

Scrollbar is throwing off my site

I'm having a bit of a problem with this design. The page is supposed to start with an image that is focused in the middle of the viewport, then you scroll down below the fold to see more content. I have it working with the code below but there's one issue. The scrollbar throws the viewport image off center. Does anyone know how to fix this? keep in mind, I still want the scrollbar there.
I don't know if this is possible. But could I use jquery to subtract the scrollbar width from the site only if scrollbar is active? I don't really know how to use jquery though. And I feel that if I subtract scrollbar width from 100vw then the site will look off on mobile when there is no scrollbar.
html {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
min-height: 100%;
overflow-x:hidden;
}
#abovefoldcontainer {
background-color: red;
width: 100vw;
height: 100vh;
}
#abovefoldimage {
background-color: #6FF;
position: relative;
left: 150px;
top: 150px;
width: calc(100vw - 300px);
height: calc(100vh - 300px);
}
#belowfold {
}
<html>
<body>
<div id="abovefoldcontainer">
<div id="abovefoldimage">Content goes here</div>

<div id="belowfold">
Content goes here too<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

How to enable scrolling over fixed element?

I have a problem with scrolling over fixed element, it doesn't work on my site. But I saw that there is no such problem in some scrolling examples like this one. After a while I found a little difference - on my site the scrolling of the page is not on the html tag but on the of app's root tag.
Here you can find an example of the situation that I have - you can't scroll over the red block http://jsbin.com/rutogosesa/edit?html,css,output, and here an example where you can scroll over the red block http://jsbin.com/munixamuqo/edit?html,css,output.
My quesion is: how to allow scrolling in first example. I know that I can subscribe on onwheel event and move scrollbar mannually, but it looks weird as all browsers have smooth scrolling my implementation will broke its behaviour, especially for mac users. Maybe there are some other possible solutions?
Let's boil your trouble down to this: if the mouse is over #inner, you can't use the usual methods (spacebar, arrow keys, trackpad, wheel) to scroll #outer up and down.
If you need to keep everything you have, get around this by adding pointer-events: none to the inner element. (Note that this means you won't be able to interact with it at all - so any links in the inner element won't be clickable. Given the examples you gave in your question, that won't be a problem.)
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
html {
overflow: hidden;
}
#inner {
position: fixed;
background: red;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
pointer-events: none; /* this is your fix. note it doesn't work in IE < 9 */
}
#outer {
overflow-y: auto; /* I changed this from "scroll". that may have been an inappropriate change, but it seems like it's probably desirable - you don't want the scrollbar to show even if the window is tall enough that you can't scroll */
background: blue;
height: 100%;
}
#push {
height: 2000px;
}
<div id="outer">
<p>top of #outer</p>
<div id="inner">
#inner
</div>
<div id="push" />
</div>
If you can get away with changing your html's styles, you can work around this by dropping the html {height: 100%; overflow: hidden}. This solution doesn't use pointer-events: none so you'll still be able to interact with the inner element!
html {
margin: 0; /* dropped html {height: 100%; overflow: hidden} */
}
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
#inner {
position: fixed;
background: red;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
}
#outer {
overflow-y: auto; /* I changed this from "scroll". that may have been an inappropriate change, but it seems like it's probably desirable - you don't want the scrollbar to show even if the window is tall enough that you can't scroll */
background: blue;
height: 100%;
}
#push {
height: 2000px;
}
<div id="outer">
<p>top of #outer</p>
<div id="inner">
#inner
</div>
<div id="push"></div>
</div>

Getting the footer on the bottom of the page

This dreaded problem.
What I currently have
html:
<html>
<body>
<div class="wrapper"></div>
<div class ="footer"></div>
</body>
</html
css:
* {
margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
}
.footer
height: 36px;
}
The problem is when i inspect the rendered page with chrome a few problems I see:
1. The html tag has a height associated with it hmmm and its not the entire page height
2. so I have div inside of the wrapper div that extends past the wrapper, body, and html tag?
My best guess is that if i can get the html to the page height I could style the footer to page bottom.
I was considering using javascript to grab the true height in pixels and passing that to height and ditching the percent. Only problem is I still want to know whats going on!
Thanks,
JT
add this css to your wrapper divs
wrapper_div{ overflow:hidden; }
this is a hack to recalculate floated elements inside an element. Otherwise the browser will forget about the floated elements, overflow-hidden does the trick or you can append a clear floated element to the bottom of the wrapper div like so
CSS
clear_float{
clear:both; display:block;
overflow:hidden; visibility:hidden;
width:0px; height:0px;
}
HTML
<div class="wrapperdiv">
/* other HTML elements*/
<div class="clear_float"></div>
</div>
this is assuming that the troublesome div is classed wrapperdiv
on second look this is completely invalid
html, body {
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
}
.wrapper {
height: auto !important;
height: 100%;
}
you are setting the height twice in one declaration. height: auto !Important will take precedent over height: 100% so you need to decide whether you want your height automatically rendered over explicitly at 100%.
and your missing the opening block in this css declaration
.footer
height: 36px;
}
Just before the closing tag of the wrapper add a div with the class 'clear'
CSS:
.clear { clear: both; }
.footer { margin-top: -36px; }
The problem is that floated elements behave like absolute positioned elements.. They are not taken in account when calculating the height of the wrapper div.
In the end I just made the html body tags set via pixels and not percent. Nothing I tried above satisfied me.
If you want a facebook like fixed footer status bar. Try using the following css:
.footer {
width: 100%;
height: 25px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0px;

Complicated parallax effect element positioning

Here is the problem, I'm using the Skrollr plugin to make a Parallax effect / animation site to present a product for one of my clients.
Now I am having a big problem with positioning, I'd need to position elements just outside the viewport, but they must be attached to a fixed wrapper, and animate to the center of the div.
I'd love to do this only in css to avoid too much js (Skrollr uses the css code ton animate anyways).
What I have tried is mearly positioning my elements with +200% or -200%, this works well on smaller screens, but on huge ones, we still see those elements. So this isn't a good solution.
I've tried to use the css3 values VH and VW, but to get them positioned in the center of the screen is a problem after, and it seems buggy between Firefox and Chrome.
Here is also my testings, this one is using %:
http://natcom.fr/commun/sites_construction/animation/old
And this is using VH and VW:
http://natcom.fr/commun/sites_construction/animation
I thank you all in advance for any help you could give.
Here you go =), but one problem is when the inner-div gets the position absolute/relative it doesn't work anymore.
But i don't know your full html structure etc.
You could also take the object out of the inner-div?
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
body, html {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
.outer-div {
left: -200px;
right: -200px;
position: absolute;
}
.object {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
background: #0000FF;
}
.move-object {
transition-duration: 10s;
margin-left: -100px;
left: 50%;
}
.inner-div {
width: 500px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
border: 1px solid black;
height: 200px;
}
</style>
<script>
function moveit() {
var element = document.getElementById('testobj');
element.setAttribute('class', 'object move-object');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="moveit();">Click</button>
<div class="outer-div">
<div class="inner-div">
<div class="object" id="testobj">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
