In SPFX header/footer extensions, can I make footer scroll down along the main content of the page
I am using react SharePoint Framework Extensions to create my header and footer for the site. Right now the footer is fixed, as it will stay on the page even if you scroll down the content. As my foo...
- If you want to achieve scroll-able footer SPFX header/footer extensions will not be a good idea as the SPFX footer extension has fixed positioning over the scroll-able area
Please have look at the conversation.

Hi,
I want to make the footer availiable inside the scroll bar, did anybody find any solution to this?
Please let me know
This thread is old, but this is still an issue due to the standard footer limitations.
I overcome this by creating an empty bottom placeholder to use its navigated events.
Created my react footer element in a const.
If the placeholder and its domElement exists, I add a scroll event to window to replace the standardfooter (html footer tag) using limited recursive tries to get it, as soon as its gotten, I use ReactDOM.hydrate with my element, but could be render.
Hope this helps somebody.

Diego_Longhi Can you please share reference URL or implementation code snippets here ?
- this is not "the supported way of doing things", it can break anytime as ms updates the layout structure, so use at your own risk. This is not the entire code, so probably you will have to edit it to work, but will help.
const reactElement = = React.createElement( ); const mainContent = document.querySelector('[role="main"]'); mainContent.addEventListener('scroll', (event) => { if ((event.currentTarget as unknown as HTMLElement).getAttribute("role") === "main") { const currentDiv = (event.currentTarget as HTMLDivElement); if ((currentDiv.scrollTop + 100) >= currentDiv.scrollHeight - currentDiv.offsetHeight - currentDiv.offsetTop) { if (this.footerRenderTries === 0 && window['footerRendered'] === false) { this.replaceStandardFooter(); } else { const standardFooter = document.querySelector('[data-automationid="MegaFooter"]'); if (typeof standardFooter !== 'undefined' && standardFooter) { standardFooter.remove(); } } } } }); const replaceStandardFooter = (): void => { try { this.footerRenderTries = this.footerRenderTries + 1; const standardFooter = document.getElementsByTagName('footer'); ReactDOM.render(reactElement, standardFooter[0]); window['footerRendered'] = true; } catch (erroFooter) { if (this.footerRenderTries <= 20) { console.error(); await delay(1000); this.replaceStandardFooter(); } else { console.error(); this.footerRenderTries = 0; } } }
