lodott1 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hi guys. I'm having the strangest problem right now, and I really need you help to figure it out. The footer stays nicely at the bottom of the page, but the content is not maxing out all the way down to the footer. The content of the left floater decides the height. If there is little content, it stays high on the page, and if I fill it up, it causes the whole page to overflow (scroll), not just the left floater. Here's what I wish to achieve: 1. Navbar on top. 2. Content with no margin to the navbar. 3. Footer just below the content, no margin. 4. Show the whole page on the screen without the need to scroll. 5. No change in the navbar-content-footer connection when zooming. 6. Keep the footer to the bottom, and keeping content from bleeding into the footer. Thanks for your time!

lodott1 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Just wanted to let you know that Jacob Johansson over on stackoverflow.com provided expert help on the matter. By adding this function to the css, it worked like a charm. #main{height: calc(100% - 8.5em);} Check out the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/EP8b6/ and fullsize: http://jsfiddle.net/EP8b6/embedded/result/ If there are any other solutions to this problem, please let us know.
