I am trying to create a footer and facing a problem while doing so...

This is my html code:

<div id="container">

<div id="main">

<div id="terms">

// content

</div> // closing terms 
</div> // closing main

 <div id="footer">
// content
</div>
</div> // closing container

And css code is

html, body {
    height:100%;
    margin:0;            
    background: #F0FAFF;
}

#container {
    min-height:100%;
    position:relative;
}

#main {
    height:100%;
    font-size:150%;
    clear:both;
    overflow:auto;
    padding-bottom:80px;
}

#footer {
    position:absolute;
    background-color:#FF6633;
    bottom:0;
    width:100%; 
    height:80px;             
}

#termsandpolicy {

Do you want it at the bottom of the page or of the screen? If at the bottom of the screen, change the position of #footer to fixed and add padding-bottom: 100px; to #termsandpolicy.

take the positioned footer outside of any other container, else it is position relative to the container, not the screen

<div id="container">
<div id="main">
<div id="terms">// content
</div> // closing terms 
</div> // closing main
</div> // closing container
<div id="footer"> content </div>

Change height to auto (#main). Or just remove it, auto is the default.

Change height to auto (#main). Or just remove it, auto is the default.

I have done that...now here is the issue

Go to http://www.walknshine.com/index.php?organization=0

Same is in http://walknshine.com/privacy.php

The code is

<body>
<div id="container">

<div id="main">

<div id="terms">

// content

</div> // closing sample
</div> // closing main
</div> // closing container 

 <div id="footer">
// content
</div>
</body>

html, body {
    height:100%;
    margin:0;            
    background:#FFFFFF; 
}

#container {
    min-height:100%;
    position:relative;
}

#container {
    height:100%;
}

#main {
    height:auto;
    font-size:150%;
    clear:both;
    overflow:auto;
    padding-bottom:80px;
}

#footer {

    background-color:#3489C0;
    bottom:0;
    width:100%; 
    height:80px;             
}

Its doing precisely what you told it to
#container min-height:100% height:100%
plus the size of the footer

remove the height statements, they are redundant anyway

I have done and problem is solved for contents longer than the screen...

But for small contents like http://www.walknshine.com/about.php

OR

http://www.walknshine.com/index.php?organization=0

Footer gets located much above as per content's length

Here is the changed css code:

html, body {
    height:100%;
    margin:0;            
    background:#FFFFFF; 
}

#container {
    
    position:relative;
}

#container {
    
}

#main {
    
    font-size:150%;
    clear:both;
    overflow:auto;
    padding-bottom:80px;
}

#footer {

    background-color:#3489C0;
    bottom:0;
    width:100%; 
    height:80px;             
}

Same result is obtained from

html, body {
    margin:0;            
    background:#FFFFFF; 
}

// Rest is same
