Creating Footer using ZURB Foundation CSS Framework

Question

I am using ZURB foundation CSS framework to design a website. Currently I am trying to create a footer that will stay at the bottom of my page. I have the following code for the footer but its not going to the bottom, rather its showing up in the middle.

Could you please tell me how to create a footer (using ZURB foundation framework) that will stay at the bottom?

<div class="row">
    <div class="twelve columns" style="background-color:#000000; height:30px; bottom:0;"></div>
</div>

Answer 1

Simple! Zurb Foundation is itself based on Compass. So you can use the 'Compass Sticky Footer' mixin.

http://compass-style.org/reference/compass/layout/sticky_footer/

There is an example of how to do it here: http://compass-style.org/examples/compass/layout/sticky-footer/

But you just go:

<div class='example'>
  <div id='layout'>
    <div id='header'>
      <h1>Sticky Footer Example</h1>
    </div>
    <p>
      This is the main content area.
    </p>
    <p>
      In this example you should pretend that the red box
      is actually the browser window.
    </p>
    <p>
      Because, being a contrived example, it's not actually sticking
      to the bottom of the page.
    </p>
    <div id='layout_footer'></div>
  </div>
  <div id='footer'>
    This is the footer area.
  </div>
</div>

And in you SCSS

@import "compass/reset.scss";
@import "compass/layout.scss";

@include sticky-footer(72px, "#layout", "#layout_footer", "#footer");

#header {
  background: #999999;
  height: 72px; }

#footer {
  background: #cccccc; }

.example {
  height: 500px;
  border: 3px solid red;
  p {
    margin: 1em 0.5em; } }

I would create two different footers - one for desktop & tablets - and one for phones.

Using Zurb's "show on and hide on options" it's very easy to do. You can have any graphics used by both footers so any "download penalty" is small.

To create a sticky footer for you website you'll have to add some CSS to Zurb. (You can add this to the app.css file, which is Zurb's repository for your extra CSS)

Also the Brad Frost article (posted by Ed Charbeneau) is a great read - I hadn't seen that before.

HTML:

<div id="footer">
        My Awsome Footer 2014
</div>

CSS

#footer{
    height: 50px;
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    line-height: 50px;
    color: #aaa;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
}
