Make div fixed to bottom above another div

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: enter image description here

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:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />

    margin-left: auto;
}

nav ul li{
    width: 25%;
    height: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
}

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 - enter image description here

Safari - enter image description here

If I'm reading correctly, the problem is that the background is hanging out at the top of the element instead of the bottom?

Add background-position: bottom; to that element's style.

Edit to add my solution css:

  • HTML is unchanged from the original post
  • "Meyerweb" CSS left unchanged
  • Changed CSS:
html, body { 
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}
body {
    overflow-x: auto;
    /* allows that horizontal scrolling */
}

#wrapper {  
    width: 350%; 
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    bottom: 0px;
    /* ^-- these three lines replace height:100%
     * and correct some layout quirks */
}
#wrapper > section { 
    display: inline-block; 
    height: 100%;
    margin-left: -4px;
    margin-bottom: -4px;
}

#wrapper > section:first-child  {
    margin-left: 0px;
    /* combined with -4px margin above, eliminates gaps between sections */
}

#wrapper > section, section > header, section > div {
    width: 25%;
    /* not sure why 25%, since you seem to only
     * have three sections... but either way,
     * the same value is needed in multiple locations
     * so it's pulled out on its own here for
     * ease of maintenance  */
}

section > header {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    height: 3em;
}
section > div {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    height: 100%;
    padding-top: 3em;
    padding-bottom: 3em; 
    box-sizing: border-box;
}

section#splash { /*unchanged*/
    background: url("../img/bg_grey.png") repeat;
}
section#next { /*unchanged*/
    background: url("../img/cork.jpg") repeat;
    z-index: 1;
}
section#next > header#frame-top { /*unchanged*/
    background: url("../img/frame.png") repeat-x;
    background-position: top;
    z-index: 3;
}
section#next > div#frame-bottom {
    background: url("../img/frame.png") repeat-x;
    background-position: bottom;
    background-origin: content-box;
    z-index: 3;
}
section#circuit { /*unchanged*/

}

.st-scroll { /*unchanged*/
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    transition: all 0.6s ease-in-out;

    /* Let's enforce some hardware acceleration */
    -webkit-transform: translate3d(0, 0, 0);
    -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}

nav {
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    position: fixed;
    background: -webkit-gradient(
        linear,
        left bottom,
        left top,
        color-stop(0.3, #303030),
        color-stop(0.5, #212121),
        color-stop(0.7, #575657)
    );
    background: linear-gradient(to top, #303030 30%, #212121 50%, #575657 70%);
    /* ^-- for non-webkit */
    height: 3em;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 5;
}

nav ul { /*unchanged*/
    width:  50%;
    height: 100%;
    color: #FFF;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left: auto;
}

nav ul li{ /*unchanged*/
    width: 25%;
    height: 100%;
    display: inline-block;

nav ul li{
    width: 20%;
    height: 100%;
    display: inline-block;
}

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.

Use "bottom:0px" instead of margin. I haven't looked too deep into this, but I have a project of my own with divs aligned to the bottom, and fixed.
