Sticky footer hiding content

You can create a clear div and give it a height.

.clear { clear: both; height: 60px; }

<div class="clear"></div>
<div id="footer">FOOTER CONTENT</div>

Height being whatever you need to keep content above the footer, eg. taller than the footer. If the footer is 50px; tall, I do 60px; for the height in the clear div. So when I scroll, the footer stays in place but as I get to the bottom the content that is flowing from behind the footer has room to get pushed above the footer without being covered. Super simple, and it worked perfectly.

I came across this answer out on the internet in the past. Works great:

HTML

<div id="container">
   <div id="header"></div>
   <div id="body"></div>
   <div id="footer"></div>
</div>

CSS

    html,
body {
   margin:0;
   padding:0;
   height:100%;
}
#container {
   min-height:100%;
   position:relative;
}
#header {
   background:#ff0;
   padding:10px;
}
#body {
   padding:10px;
   padding-bottom:60px;   /* Height of the footer */
}
#footer {
   position:absolute;
   bottom:0;
   width:100%;
   height:60px;   /* Height of the footer */
   background:#6cf;
}
/* IE 6 and down:
#container {
   height:100%;
}
