<h2>Ryan Fait's HTML5 CSS Sticky Footer</h2>
<p>Like the <a href="/sticky-footer/">original CSS Sticky Footer</a>, this <strong>HTML5 Sticky Footer</strong> works in virtually all browsers to make a website's footer 'stick' to the bottom of the page even when the content is short. As many web designers are designing in HTML5, including myself, I decided it was time add this as a companion to <a href="/sticky-footer/">the original</a> for those of you using HTML5.</p>
<h2>Implementation of the Sticky Footer</h2>
<p>The CSS and HTML have only minor changes. If you want it to work in IE8 and below, you will need to include the <a href="js/html5.js">HTML5 JavaScript file</a> (in between the &lt;head&gt; tags) which creates HTML5 elements like header, footer, etc., and remember to set HTML5 elements as block. Just like the original, there are no terms, licenses, fees or requirements.</p>
<p>I love links back to my site and emails from people who love the <strong>HTML5 CSS Sticky Footer</strong>!</p>
