text sticking to the bottom of the page

1v4n0 · 09-22-2014, 05:59 AM

Hello.

I was wondering, is it possible to have some text stick to the bottom of the page in the e-reader? Some printed books use this layout, for example for some description of the incoming chapter.

I found this css, which works but has an issue: when the text is too long, or when the font is too big, the upper part disappears - both the text in the "footer" and everything else above it in the same file.

Code:

{
 position:fixed;
 bottom:0em;
   }

I'd like something that makes the text stick to the bottom, but that splits it across as many page-views as needed, if needed.

Hope I made ms clear

Think you are out of luck in the case of epub2; position:fixed is not in the spec, and I've never seen an epubreader that supports it. Not sure about KF8 and what it can handle, but I know from experience that it doesn't like position:absolute, so it seems unlikely it accepts position:fixed. I've never looked into KF8 fixed-layout and if there is a possibility of making a semi-fixed layout book.

Ha. Weird. My kindle (the cheapest one they sell now, not sure about the model number) does support position: fixed, at least for azw3 files.
