I'm curious about the element at the bottom of a web page that stays put, no matter how much you scroll. It could be a bar, a notification, or a dropdown. What's the technical term for this thing?

That’s generally referred to as a sticky footer or a fixed bottom bar. If it’s designed for actions like buttons or navigation, folks might call it a bottom navigation bar or an action bar. For alerts, promotions, or cookie consent notices, you might hear it described as a sticky banner or a persistent notification bar. Essentially, it boils down to using `position: fixed; bottom: 0;`—but the name depends on what it's used for.
Bottom nav bar! How can I create this? Is there specific HTML or CSS I should use?
