I’ve been developing a mobile layout with a horizontal scroll.
But now I have a problem:
There is a NAV element that sticks to the bottom of the page, no problem there, but I want to achieve an effect of a “corkboard” with the accompanying “frames” on the top and on the bottom. Once again, the top one is no problem at all, but I’m having a lot of trouble trying to get the bottom one to stay at the bottom, and above the NAV bar.
It’s something like this:
Basically, the red square is the current view/screen, the navbar stays fixed to the bottom and if I scroll to another section it stays at the bottom of the screen as intended, as does the top blue bar (the top frame).
How can I make the bottom blue bar to stay in the position intended/exemplified?
The HTML:

I’ve tryed everything from margins, paddings, heigth and min-height but can’t manage to achieve the intended effect.
Can anyope point me what I’m doing wrong?
EDIT: A screenshot of the page at the moment on:
Chrome –
Safari –
After some help from @joequincy and much hacking and tampering with the code I’ve reached the perfect solution:
and the CSS:
I kept the table-cell, aligned everything perfectly (even with those awkward “spaces”) and then to keep everything tidy the big secret was to use overflow:hidden in the body.
Now, this does have other problems such as that you cannot scroll vertically nor horizontally now, but given that that wasn’t a problem (navigation is supposed to be achieved using the navbar to simulate different views) it now works correctly, without any JS.
