I understand why @Guil Hernandez (https://teamtreehouse.com/guil) uses css width: calc(100vh - 89px); I really hope in later versions of css they implement something like ```css width: calc(100vh - .class_name); or width: calc(100vh - #element_id); ``` allowing for a flexible footer and the math is automatically done based on the footers height.

Sticky footer: thoughts

I understand why Guil Hernandez uses

width: calc(100vh - 89px);

I really hope in later versions of css they implement something like

width: calc(100vh - .class_name); 

or 

width: calc(100vh - #element_id);

allowing for a flexible footer and the math is automatically done based on the footers height.

Hi John Weland,

In the flexbox course coming out on the 23rd, you'll learn a more flexible method for creating multi-line sticky footers. :)
