How to stick footer to bottom (not fixed) even with scrolling

Question

I\'m learning web development and I simply can\'t figure out what I\'m doing wrong on this. I want the footer of this page to stick to the bottom, below all content, but not fix

Answer 1

The accepted answer might be a bit outdated since we have Flexbox now. Give the container a min-height: 100vh and the footer a margin-top: auto so you don't have to deal with absolute positioning and fixed heights.

body {
    margin: 0;
}

.container {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    min-height: 100vh;
}

.header {
    background-color: #FFCCCC;
}

.content {
    background-color: #CCFFCC;
}

.footer {
    background-color: #CCCCFF;
    margin-top: auto;
}
