I have a very simple test website where I want to place an SVG image behind an anchor element and some other elements above it but have the bottoms of the SVG image and the paragraph element bottom-aligned.
body {
margin: 0;
}
a {
font-size: 0.8rem;
display: block;
text-align: center;
color: black;
}
footer {
text-align: -webkit-center;
padding: 1.25%;

</svg>Here is a rendering of what the website looks like right now;
However as you can see the wavy purple SVG is not bottom-aligned with the anchor tag above it nor is it behind it(which I know how use by setting the svg’s z-index to -1).

One solution would be to create a parent element that contains your entire page (here I’ve added a
divand given it the classpage-container).You can then position your SVG relative to this parent using
position: absolute. From w3schools:First, you’ll therefore need to add
position: relative;to the parent element’s styles to make it the first positioned ancestor.Then, since you want the bottom of your SVG to be aligned with the bottom of parent (and therefore its last static sibling, the anchor tag), use
bottom: 0. This property defines the distance from the bottom of the parent where you want the SVG to appear.Here’s your full code snippet with these changes put in:
Another solution is to add SVG as a background to the footer element html then move your text around with margin.
First you need to convert your SVG code to CSS.
You can use this tool. I have edited your code.
