I want to achieve this example but with the difference that in case there is too much content on my page (between navbar and footer) that this content is down-scaled / squeezed to fit inside (i.e. so that the footer is still visible at all screen resolutions, making it a "fixed footer" in CSS jargon). I'm using bootstrap 3.1.1 and it would be cool if anyone has a solution that is bootstrap-friendly :). Best!

1So you want the content to zoom out / scale rather than allowing it to scroll? – dcclassics May 01 '14 at 15:16

That's exactly what I want :) – MShekow May 02 '14 at 12:21

You could always go with a fixed footer and have any additional content scroll underneath it. Heres a jsfiddle as an example:
html {
min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
}
body {
margin-bottom: 1.5rem /* or whatever your fixed footer height is */
}
/* and assuming your footer has id="footer" */
#footer {
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
height: 1.5rem;
overflow: hidden;
}

That's already a good point, thanks. Any ideas, though, how to have the text div to be scaled down to fit exactly right into the remaining space? – MShekow May 02 '14 at 10:15

Please see this answer here, and the example it refers to here. It's going to be a bit different I assume if you've got pictures and everything though. If you could provide an example of your content on jsFiddle we could probably help you scale it a little better.

That solution uses JS. So to me it seems that doing that in just CSS isn't possible. In either case, the example addresses the whole body, while I am wondering whether this technique can be applied to just one particular div. – MShekow May 10 '14 at 07:46
