Place an item at a fixed position in a scrolling div

Question

I have a page full of content and window is scrollable, in which there is scrollable div where my objective is to place an icon at the very bottom

Answer 1

I think you are looking for sticky position like this

div {
  height: 100px;
  border: 1px solid;
  overflow: auto;
  position: relative;
}

span {
  background: red;
  position: sticky;
  bottom: 0;
}

Simply pay attention to browser support as this property is not yet supported everywhere

Here is another trick using fixed position but more a hack than a generic solution.

body {
  transform:translate(0,0); /* Block fixed position from scrolling*/
}
div {
  height: 100px;
  border: 1px solid;
  overflow: auto;
  position: relative;
}

span {
  background: red;
  position: fixed;
  margin-top:-110px; /*this need to be calculated depending on content*/
}
