Position Absolute and Bottom 0

http://cdpn.io/FykHr I seem to have an issue with the combined CSS properties:

position: absolute;
bottom: 0;

First you can see that the .footer div doesn't isn't at the bottom. Now, change the font-size from 120px to 50px and the div seems to be working the way I inteded it to.

How do I make the .footer div stay at the bottom (not fixed at the bottom of the screen) regardless of the size of the .content div.

There is one way to do that:

body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}
html {
    padding-bottom: 50px;
    min-height: 100%;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    position: relative;
}

footer {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    height: 50px;
    background-color: red;
}

There is still one limitation. You have to know height of footer and set it in two places.

You need to add position: relative; to the parent container, which in this case is .wrapper.

Here's a good reference page on absolute positioning.
