What is the ultimate goal here?

If you want to have an element hold to the bottom of the screen no matter what and sit on top of any other content, you would use position:fixed...

#bottom_nav {

     width:100%;

     position:fixed;

     bottom:0px;

     text-align:center;

     z-index:9999;

}

Then in your html...

<div id="bottom_nav">Home | About | Contact | Portfolio</div>

But position:fixed won't center.  Neither will position:absolute.

This might be one of the limitations of using the vh unit in that particular browser. What happens to the gap if you refresh the browser after resizing it?


Still remain. It looks worst if I view it in google chrome 33
