Cant get footer to stay on the bottom of the container

[Beryn]

I have been learning php following tutorials, but im stumped. In the video he is able to have the container use a code to place the footer on the bottom of the site

 

Here is the code he used

 

body {
    background-color: #C4C4C4;
    
}

#header {
    background-color: #898989;
    width:  800px;
    color:  #FFFFFF;
    font-size:  18pt;
    border: 1px solid #000000;
    
}

#container{
  overflow: hidden;
    
}
#navigation {
    background-color: #454545;
    width:  179px;
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: -32767px;
    padding-bottom: 32767px;
    border-left: 1px solid #000000;
    border-right: 1px solid #898989;
    
}

#nav_div{
    padding: 10px;
    
}

#con_div{
    padding:  10px;
    
}
#content {
    background-color: #DDDDDD;
    width:  620px;  
    float: left;
    margin-bottom: -32767px;
    padding-bottom: 32767px;
    border-right: 1px solid #000000;
    
    
}
#footer {
    background-color: #898989;
    width:  800px;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    font-size: 12pt;
    border: 1px solid #000000;

    
    
}

You didn't ask a question, so it's hard to know what the problem is.

 

That said, if you are looking for a stickyfooter (one that sticks to the bottom of the page if there isn't enough content to push it down, but sits below all the content if there IS enough content to push it down), then this one works well: http://www.cssstickyfooter.com/

    margin-bottom: -32767px;

    padding-bottom: 32767px;

 

You shouldn't use crazy codes like that, because there are much more semantic solutions. For all types of fixed and sticky footers, with simpler codes than cssstickyfooter.com offers, even if I say so myself, see Create a Fixed ('Sticky') Footer with CSS.
