[Solved] Sticky footer not so sticky

Problem:
I’m using Ryan Fait’s sticky footer, but the glue I’m applying doesn’t appear to be sticky enough.

Code:

#wrapper {
width: 928px;
margin: 0 auto -250px;
min-height: 100%;
height: auto !important; height: 100%;
background: url(images/bg.jpg) top center no-repeat black;
}
#push { height: 250px; }

#footer {
width:928px; margin: 0 auto; height: 250px;
background: white; border-top: 4px solid #333333;
padding-top: 20px;
color: black;
}

HTML structure:

floated content

text links etc

My footer.php looks like this:

Code:

is powered by WordPress “>Entries (RSS) “>Comments (RSS).

Troubleshooting I have done:
I have looked over the code for margins that might mess it up, but haven’t been able to locate any that pose a problem, tried changing the height of the push.

I added height: 100%; to the html tag and suddenly it almost works.

The footer gets pushed down a little bit too far, resulting in a vertical scrollbar appearing. See for yourself here.

My margin on the wrapper div is -50px, push is 50px and footer height is 50px.

I cleaned my code thoroughly and replaced all margins with padding, I have no clue why the footer is pushed down too far.

I got rid of the scrollbar by reducing the height of the footer to 26px – then it all works perfectly, but I’m really not sure what will happen when I keep adding elements to my page. I would like it to work how it is supposed to, so that I don’t have to change the footer height all the time.

Please help :).

Ah finally!. Thanks you so much apostrophe.

I had tried removing that padding earlier, that must of been before I added the 100% height to the html, never crossed my mind to try it again. Cheers!

The border is what pushes it down another 4px, I’ll have to add that to the push & margin.

Solved finally :mrgreen:. Webdesign is so much fun when things work!
