Menu
I want to make a one Column Layout with 3 section
Section 1: Header Section 2: A Content Section that stretchs from beneth the header to the beginning of the footer, which has it's content centered vertically and horizontally within itsel Section 3: Footer that always resides at the bottom of the browser window.
The Problem:
I can't get the content div to strech to the beginning of the footer/bottom div. If I enter height:100% it automatically stretches till the end of the whole page.
Also would like to center the content inside this middle div vertically and horizontally - though I have not yet attempted to do so.
Also don't understand why the background of the header text is not in color. even though the subheader divs are encapsulated by the header div which has background-color defined.
thanks!

use flexbox or css grid. Here is a flexbox example. Css grid could be even simpler, but support is pretty low still:
body, html { padding: 0; margin: 0; }
header { background: #faa; }
article { background: #afa; }
footer { background: #aaf; }
.page {
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
height: 100vh;
width: 100vw;
}
article {
flex: 1;
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}<div class="page">
<header>header content</header>
<article>main content</article>
<footer>footer content</footer>
</div>No need to use tables! Some simple css will do nicely.
DEMO: http://jsbin.com/azivip/2/edit
Html Markup:
<body>
<div id="content">
<div id="header">
This is the header
</div>
<div id="inner">
This is the body
</div>
<div id="footer">
this is the footer
</div>
</div>
</body>
CSS:
body{
height:100%;
padding:0px;
margin:0px;
}
#content{
position:relative;
bottom:0px;
width:100%;
height:100%;
}
#header{
position:relative;
bottom:0px;
width:100%;
height:100px; /* Edit for height of header*/
background:#f00;
}
#inner{
width:100%;
text-align:center;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
#footer{
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
width:100%;
height:100px; /* Edit for height of footer */
background:#0f0;
}
In order for #inner to stay centered vertically even with multi-line content, you'll need to use Javascript/jQuery. Below is an example script that "pulls up" #inner just the right amount to be centered.
var mrgntop = -Math.floor($("#inner").height() / 2);
$("#inner").css({"margin-top":mrgntop});
