Bootstrap paginator div not positioning properly

Question

I'm using bootstrap 3.3.4 to achieve the following page layout:

• header: fixed to top ;
• top content row: fixed below page header ;
• main content row: contains scrollable data ;
• pagination links row: fixed, should show above footer ;

• footer: fixed to bottom ;

  I have it set up except for the pagination row. I have tried and tried but I just don't see what is going on. The problem is that the pagination row doesn't show beneath the main content area, as I expect it to. It shows near the top of the page.

The only way I managed to position it where it should be is by inserting a margin-top: 537px; but this doesn't adjust with the rest of the content when I resize the window.

(I have left the top content row to do once I have sorted this problem out)

Here is my code:

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
body {
  overflow: hidden;
}
.body-content {
  background-color: grey;
  position: absolute;
  top: 22%;
  bottom: 12%;
  right: 0;
  left: 0;
  overflow: auto;
}

Any ideas as to how I can make the pagination appear after the main content?

Answer 1

.body-content {
background-color: grey;    
top: 22%;
bottom: 12%;
right: 0;
left: 0;
overflow: auto;
}

If you want make the pagination appear after the main content remove this line position: absolute;

Make your content body scroll:

#pbb-content1{
height: 500px;
overflow: scroll;
}
