divs appear above the footer instead of inside the footer-CodePudding

I am just practicing CSS/HTML and am trying to make a google clone. Everything else seems fine but now I am trying to make a footer and whenever I put a div inside the footer, they appear on top of the footer instead of inside the footer.

CodePudding user response：

It is inside the footer. Just this property:

background-color: rgb(32, 33, 36);

which you set for * gets inherited, and the bg color makes you think text it outside the footer. Comment it out for a while and you will see.

CodePudding user response：

It's in the footer. Just has a background-color you set on * and spans the full width. You can work around this by adding display: inline-block; to .current-location.

You could also just set:

.current-location {
   background-color: transparent;
}
