    Only reason that would happen is if you have margin/padding on body (no, you shouldn't have), or you've placed the footerx-div inside a container which have a margin-bottom somewhere.

    Absolute positioning for doing that is trash, that's NOT how you should be even THINKING about handling that.

    What you are trying to do is called a 100% min-height layout. Traditionally you'd have a container before the footer set to min-height:100% with a bottom padding equal to the footer's height, that you'd then use a negative margin to ride it up over the content.

    Nowadays I say "screw it working in IE9/earlier" and use flex-box to pull it off.

    html, body {
    	height:100%; /* to allow for flex min-height */
    }
    
    body {
    	display:-webkit-flexbox;
    	display:-ms-flexbox;
    	display:flex;
    	-webkit-flex-direction:column;
    	-ms-flex-direction:column;
    	flex-direction:column;
    }
    
    #top {
    	-webkit-flex:1 0 auto;
    	-ms-flex:1 0 auto;
    	flex:1 0 auto;
    }
    Code (markup):
    Where #top is a DIV wrapping everything except your footer. Makes #top auto-expand to force the footer flush with the bottom in IE10/newer.

    The old method is similar:
    html, body {
    	position:relative; /* fix IE8 resize bug */
    	height:100%;
    }
    
    #top {
    	min-height:100%;
    	padding-bottom:3.5em;
    }
    
    #footer {
    	position:relative; /* make sure it depth sorts over #top */
    	margin-top:-3.5em;
    	padding:1em;
    	line-height:1.5em; 
    }
    Code (markup):
    But means you HAVE to know how tall that #footer element is going to be. It can also fail if you use EM in firefox depending on the font size since gecko is a retard about calculating the same values the same way twice -- which could mean switching to the inaccessible mess that is pixels and why I go with flex and say "Oh well" if it doesn't work in legacy IE.
