CSS: fixed header and footer

   


Today we are going to create a header and a footer with fixed position. Our page will have a center part which will naturally overflow when needed, while the header and the footer will stay where they are (top and bottom). The content in the central part will eventually go under the header (when scrolled down) and under the footer (if longer than the viewport).
Nothing complicated, but we will need some little CSS tricks.

Let's start.

HTML5: is div dead? Not, really...

   


I must admit I am not a great fan of HTML5. First I've tried to understand the new tags and then I've started using them on new projects, sometimes ago. I even contacted the Doctors on HTML5 Doctor to submit some questions and prepare an interview to be published on the web thought. They were obviously too busy and, even if they initially agreed on the interview, they've never got back to me with the answers.
Anyway, in this short post I will try to explain where the new content formatting tags should be used and how they can replace the div tag... if ever.

HTML & CSS: header and footer elements for printing

   


In July this year, I've posted an article about collecting data from an xml file in order to display it and eventually print it [JavaScript: get data from an xml file (like a Blogger backup file) and display it (or print it)]. The main reason why I wrote that post is because I wanted to create a unique way of printing The Web Thought. I managed to collect the data (articles body, datestamps, titles and so on) from the xml file generated by Blogger as blog backup, so I now have a good page ready for printing.

Since then, I've worked again on the file and I've changed it a bit, just to include some specific features I needed. Basically I've changed the css style and the JavaScript code. I don't think you might be interested in that part (if you are please let me know so that I can share it), however there's a bit of code I would like to show you. Basically we want to create footers and headers for every printed page.

CSS: create a footer (header) for your asp page

   


I write this post because someone asked me how to create footer in an asp page. That's the main reason. However, after writing a lot about Sql Server functions (and I don't think I am really finished with that!), I indeed needed a break. Anyway...
Creating a footer for your asp page is very easy. I will show you how to do it with css styles, assuming you have a default.asp page which is your home page, an include named footer.asp which is your footer and an external css.css page containing your styles.
