      <div class="container">
        <div class="navbar-header">
          <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          </button>
          <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Project name</a>
        </div>
        <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
          <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
            <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="#about">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="#contact">Contact</a></li>
          </ul>
        </div>
      </div>
  </div><!-- /navbar -->

@import "//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.0/css/bootstrap.min.css";

html {
    position: relative;
    min-height: 100%;
}
body {
    margin: 0 0 60px; /* bottom has to be the same as footer height */
}
footer {
    /* just for demo */
    background-color: #F8F8F8;
    border-top: 1px solid #E7E7E7;
    text-align:center;
    padding:20px;
   /* just for demo */ 
  
    position: absolute;
