jQuery Mobile: Stick footer to bottom of page
Is there any way, bearing in mind the way the jQuery Mobile framework operates, to fix the page so that the footer always aligns with the bottom of the page - no matter the height.
As it stands the height of a jQuery page will change, especially as devices are rotated portrait to landscape, so the solution would have to take this into account.
Just to clarify - I don't need the footer to be at the bottom of viewport, just working so that the default page height doesn't drop below the viewport height.
Thanks.
Answer
You can add this in your css file:
[data-role=page]{height: 100% !important; position:relative !important;}
[data-role=footer]{bottom:0; position:absolute !important; top: auto !important; width:100%;}
So the page data-role now have 100% height, and footer is in absolute position.
Also Yappo have wrote an excellent plugin that you can find here: jQuery Mobile in a iScroll plugin http://yappo.github.com/projects/jquery.mobile.iscroll/livedemo.html
hope you found the answer!
An answer update
You can now use the data-position="fixed" attribute to keep your footer element on the bottom.
