How to align content of a div to the bottom

Answer 1

I use these properties and it works!

#header {
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: bottom;
}

Answer 2

Here is another solution using flexbox but without using flex-end for bottom alignment. The idea is to set margin-bottom on h1 to auto to push the remaining content to the bottom:

#header {
  height: 350px;
  display:flex;
  flex-direction:column;
  border:1px solid;
}

#header h1 {
 margin-bottom:auto;
}

<div id="header">
  <h1>Header title</h1>
  Header content (one or multiple lines) Header content (one or multiple lines)Header content (one or multiple lines) Header content (one or multiple lines)
</div>

We can also do the same with margin-top:auto on the text but in this case we need to wrap it inside a div or span:

#header {
  height: 350px;
  display:flex;
  flex-direction:column;
  border:1px solid;
}

#header span {
 margin-top:auto;
}

<div id="header">
  <h1>Header title</h1>
  <span>Header content (one or multiple lines)</span>
</div>

If you're not worried about legacy browsers use a flexbox.

The parent element needs its display type set to flex

div.parent {
  display: flex;
  height: 100%;
}

Then you set the child element's align-self to flex-end.

span.child {
  display: inline-block;
  align-self: flex-end;
}

Here's the resource I used to learn: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

a very simple, one-line solution, is to add line-heigth to the div, having in mind that all the div's text will go bottom.

CSS:

#layer{width:198px;
       height:48px;
       line-height:72px;
       border:1px #000 solid}
#layer a{text-decoration:none;}

HTML:

<div id="layer">
    <a href="#">text at div's bottom.</a>
</div>

keep in mind that this is a practical and fast solution when you just want text inside div to go down, if you need to combine images and stuff, you will have to code a bit more complex and responsive CSS

Answer 5

Use CSS positioning:

/* Creates a new stacking context on the header */
#header {
  position: relative;
}

/* Positions header-content at the bottom of header's context */
#header-content {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
}

As cletus noted, you need identify the header-content to make this work.

<span id="header-content">some header content</span>

<div style="height:100%; position:relative;">
    <div style="height:10%; position:absolute; bottom:0px;">bottom</div>
</div>

Answer 6

try with:

div.myclass { margin-top: 100%; }

try changing the % to fix it. Example: 120% or 90% ...etc.
