css - Footer on last printed page

Question

I have a web page that a client would like to print, and the part I'm having trouble getting my head around is to get the footer to sit at the bottom of the last printed page, not just when the content ends

I tried something like

 #printfooter{display: block; position:fixed; bottom: 0;}

but it displayed the footer at the end of each page.

Maybe Im asking a bit too much from CSS... Is it doable?

I'm thinking I should just go crazy with <br />'s (^_^)

Answer 1

Try to position the body relative and the footer absolute:

body {
    position: relative;
}
#printfooter {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
}

With CSS 3 Paged Media module you could use something like this:

@page:last {
    @bottom-center {
        content: "…";
    }
}
