Introduction:
This tutorial will be a code sample of a footer in CSS.

Steps of Creation:
Step 1:
First we need a HTML file to contain our footer. I have created one with a couple of divs and a link to my theme.css CSS file.

Step 2:
Now lets set the default settings for our html file in our theme.css.

1. *
   
   {
   
2. margin
   
   :
   
   0px
   
   ;
   
3. padding
   
   :
   
   0px
   
   ;
   
4. color
   
   :
   
   #fff
   
   ;
   
5. }
   
6. 
   
7. body{
   
8. width
   
   :
   
   100%
   
   ;
   
9. }
   

Step 3:
Next I have set a height for my fake div so it shows up properly...

1. .contentFake{
   
2. background-color
   
   :
   
   #333
   
   ;
   
3. height
   
   :
   
   770px
   
   ;
   
4. }
   
5. 
   
6. .footer{
   
7. width
   
   :
   
   100%
   
   ;
   
8. position
   
   :
   
   fixed
   
   ;
   
9. margin-bottom
   
   :
   
   0px
   
   ;
   
10. height
    
    :
    
    80px
    
    ;
    
11. background-color
    
    :
    
    #1A1A1A
    
    ;
    
12. display
    
    :
    
    block
    
    ;
    
13. }
    
14. 
    
15. .footerContent{
    
16. width
    
    :
    
    80%
    
    ;
    
17. margin
    
    :
    
    auto
    
    ;
    
18. padding
    
    :
    
    5px
    
    ;
    
19. text-align
    
    :
    
    center
    
    ;
    
20. border-left
    
    :
    
    1px
    
    solid
    
    #fff
    
    ;
    
21. border-right
    
    :
    
    1px
    
    solid
    
    #fff
    
    ;
    
22. }
    

For our footer we have set it fixed to the bottom of the screen with a 80px height, 100% width and a slightly different colour to our main background to differentiate it. I have also given my footerContent a border on the left and right sides and given it a slightly smaller width.
