[css-d] Two-column layout with sticky footer.

2008-03-07 Thread Scott Sauyet
Okay, I swear I've done this a thousand times, and seen it ten thousand, 
but I've having problems with a straightforward layout problem.  I'm 
wondering if anyone has a similar layout laying around...

I'm looking for a two-column layout.  The left (#nav) column should be 
fixed width and the right (#main) one fluid.  I'd like to have a footer 
that sticks to the bottom of the viewport or the bottom of the document, 
whichever is lower.  And I'd like the main content to come before the 
nav in the source.

I can even live without the sticky footer as long as it's below both 
columns (either of which could be longer.)

This shouldn't be hard, right?

Not sure about your demands of letting the content come first though...

In addition to what has already been suggested, you might try:

Any two column content first source order layout of your choice on this 
page:
http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/
with a faux-column:

and a footerStickAlt:

Best,

Wow.  Sorry Scott - you'll be getting this twice!  I keep forgetting 
when I hit reply to this list, it only replies to the original person 
- not the whole list.

I wanted to re-send because I thought this might help someone else 
looking for the same thing - otherwise I wouldn't bother.  I just did 
this *exact* layout for a client the day before yesterday.  You can get 
the vanilla version here:

http://brassblogs.com/templates/2col.stickyfoot.leftsidebar/

I also have a right-sidebar version.  (I think I have a 3-column version 
too...somewhere...hmm...where'd I put that...)

This is pretty close to what I'm looking for.  The only thing I see 
missing is that the main column is supposed to be fluid.  I might play 
around with altering it.

Thanks for your help,

I'd seen that before, but hadn't bookmarked it.  I think Layout 24 might 
do what I need.  Thanks.

I know the technique, but it's not needed for this project.


 and a footerStickAlt:
 http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/

Yes, and there are others techniques at

 http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=FooterInfo

including an ancient one of my own.

Thanks for your help.

around with altering it.

Actually it's based off a fluid layout.  If you remove the #wrapper, and 
the widths for header, footer and outer (and adjust #outer for the 100% 
height) the main column should become fluid at 100%.  Alternatively, you 
could just set #wrapper, #footer, #header and #outer at 100% width, and 
you're set.
