sticky footer

When subtracting footer height to 100vh do we also need subtract footer margin? I only needed to subract bottom margin, not top margin of the footer. is this right way?

You should only be subtracting the total number of pixels for your footer. You do not subtract top/bottom margin independently.

you can use the position : fixed with bottom:0

<html> <head> <style> .test-css{ height: 50px; width: 100vw; background: red; position: fixed; bottom: 0; }

        .empty-div{
            height: 150vh;
            width: 100vw;
            background: green;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body >
    <div class="empty-div">sssss</div>
    <div class="test-css">test</div>
</body>

</html>
