How to bring Footer to bottom back?

Question

I was trying to draw a simple Blogspot page with HTML and CSS. I have designed some. Now I am stuck. I have a code:

body{
 background-color: #5e769b;
 font: 16px/28px, arial, sans-serif; 
}
.container{
 background-color: #edeff2;
 width: 790px;
 margin: auto;
}
.header{
 padding-bottom: 20px;
 background-color: #6191dd;
 text-align: center;
}
.article{
 padding: 20px;
 text-align: justify;
 background-color: #f9f9f9;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 70%;
 float: left;
}
.sidebar {
 padding: 20px;
 text-align: justify;
 background-color: #f9f9f9;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 30%;
 float: right;
}
.footer{
 padding: 10px;
 text-align: center;
 background-color: #6b4edb;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 100%;
 color: #263959;
}
.footer,
a {
 text-decoration: none;
 color: #fff;
}

<div class="container">
 <div class="header">
  <h1>welcome</h1>
  <h2>test blog</h2>
 </div>
 <div class="article">

 <div class="footer">
  <h4>CopyRight @ <a href="#">footer</a></h4>
 </div>
</div>

This code is not letting the footer at the bottom. Footer is with the sidebar.

I want footer at the bottom of the container as shown in below image https://i.stack.imgur.com/IREuq.jpg

What changes should I make in CSS or HTML?

Thank you.

Answer 1

You put your "footer" in a div. you should use the html tag .

So take off the < div class="footer" > thing and then go after the < /body > tag and write:

<footer class="footer">
    <h4>Copyright @ <a href="#">Footer</a></h4>
</footer>

Answer 2

put the <div> like this before <div class="footer">.

<div class="footerToBottom"></div>

and add css code for this segment:

.footerToBottom{
    clear:both;
    display:block;
    width:0 !important;
    height:0 !important;
    min-height:0 !important;
    min-width:0 !important;
    margin:0 !important;
    padding:0 !important;
    overflow:hidden
}

body{
 background-color: #5e769b;
 font: 16px/28px, arial, sans-serif; 
}
.container{
 background-color: #edeff2;
 width: 790px;
 margin: auto;
}
.header{
 padding-bottom: 20px;
 background-color: #6191dd;
 text-align: center;
}
.article{
 padding: 20px;
 text-align: justify;
 background-color: #f9f9f9;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 70%;
 float: left;
}
.sidebar {
 padding: 20px;
 text-align: justify;
 background-color: #f9f9f9;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 30%;
 float: right;
}
.footer{
 padding: 10px;
 text-align: center;
 background-color: #6b4edb;
 box-sizing: border-box;
 width: 100%;
 color: #263959;
}
.footer,
a {
 text-decoration: none;
 color: #fff;
}
.footerToBottom{
 clear:both;
 display:block;
 width:0 !important;
 height:0 !important;
 min-height:0 !important;
 min-width:0 !important;
 margin:0 !important;
 padding:0 !important;
 overflow:hidden
}
