Managing the clearance of an absolutely positioned div with CSS

I'm encountering an issue where my page contains divs that are 250px x 250px and positioned absolutely. When one of these divs is opened, an ajax call expands the div to display all its contents. These divs have a maximum width of 600px but can vary in height based on the information being presented. As a result, if a div has a lot of content, it extends over my footer which is expected because of the widgets on the page.

My query is whether there is a way for me to configure my footer to accommodate this large widget that is currently overlapping it?

Answer №1

When dealing with absolutely positioned divs, it's important to note that they are separate from the normal document flow. One solution to prevent abrupt endings in your layout is to consider implementing a sticky footer, which can help keep your footer at the bottom of the page.

Without restructuring your HTML or utilizing JavaScript to adjust div height dynamically, you may face challenges in aligning the footer neatly beneath the div using only CSS.
