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.

Could you paste your code (or upload the page to a web server you control) so I can take a look?


I tried to copy your code and paste it without any changes, and view it in chrome 33 and here is how it looks like
