I am working on a new website and I want to include a footer at the bottom of a container div.
I found a javascript library called Tether (http://github.hubspot.com/tether/) but I am having a problem with the implementation.
Below is my HTML code
<html>
<head>
<title>Bug Reporting</title>
<link href="StyleSheet.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="includes/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="includes/tether/tether.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
new Tether({
element: '.footer',
target: '.container',
attachment: 'top left',
targetAttachment: 'bottom left'
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container">
<header>
This is the body
</header>
<div id="content">
This is the content<br />
</div>
<div class="footer1">
This is the footer
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Below is my StyleSheet
html, body
{
font-family: arial;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
header
{
background-color: red;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
}
.container
{
background-color: yellow;
height: calc(100% - 80px);
width: 100%;
}
#content
{
background-color: blue;
width: 1024px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
height: auto;
}
.footer1
{
position: absolute;
background-color: green;
width: 100%;
height: 80px;
}
The problem is when I load the page I get an exception within the tether library
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'classList' of null
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Tether's options define
elementandtargetas being a DOM or jQuery element (in quite a loose sense of the word), not a string.You need to pass a jQuery object to Tether, like this:
Also make sure the elements are on the page when you initialise your Tether instance.
