Doesn't work on Chrome 28 Win 7 1366 x 768 (can't scroll to see the bottom buttons).

Same problem here. Hitting F11 for full-screen revealed the buttons.

For front-end experts, this is a pretty egregious oversight.


I managed to get to the buttons by zooming out. Couldn't see them by default (Chrome on a Retina Macbook Pro). Tried scrolling and clicked every item visible too before figuring it out, ha.


You don't need any tricks for the sticky footer. Just use position: fixed on the footer and add a padding-bottom to the body for the same height as the footer. In absolutely ancient browsers it will simply show the footer at the bottom when you scroll there.


And the site completely sucks on the iPad. Can't even see the right most box


Do you need tricks like that anymore though? Even IE8 supports `position: fixed'.


Problem solved, thanks for reporting :)


Same issue for me.


You should always try your websites on smaller screens... I believe 1366x768 is the dominant screen resolution right now.

I can't scroll (why?) and the footer comes above the most important part of the UI.

You are completely right.

But...is 1366x768 really the dominant resolution right now, even with the emergence of Apple as a dominant PC maker?

On my site, the top 3 resolutions are as follows:

    1. 1440x900
    2. 1600x900
    3. 1920x1080
After that a mishmash of phone & tablet resolutions come before 1366x768.


Depends on your audience. If your website is geared towards developers, it's still a good idea to plan for 1280x800 (standard laptop), or really just make it responsive already.


Don't confuse screen resolution with browser window size. FWIW (less variability?) analytics companies love screen resolution, and put far less weight on browser window size (with or without the window chrome)



http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey has 1920x1080 followed by 1366x768


Kind of annoyed that I also can't scroll

My screen is 1366*768


This is funny, looks like everyone is using a mobile device, and no one can see it.


The layout is fucked up on my OS X 10.8.4 with Chrome.


couldn't see buttons so I had to make my screen smaller.
