Set the length \footskip to a suitable value, e.g.

\setlength{\footskip}{17pt}

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\setlength{\footskip}{17pt}

\begin{document}

AJAX\footnote{Asynchronous JavaScript and XML permet de construire des applications Web et des sites web dynamiques interactifs sur le poste client.}

\end{document}

Output:

EDIT

If you want your footnotes under the foot rule, they will overwrite the page number...

In this case I suggest to delete the line

\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}

and to redefine \footnoterule

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\footnoterule{%
  \kern23\p@
  \hrule\@width\linewidth
  \kern2.6\p@}
\makeatother

MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum} % only for the example

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\footnoterule{%
  \kern23\p@
  \hrule\@width\linewidth
  \kern2.6\p@}
\makeatother

\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}

AJAX\footnote{Asynchronous JavaScript and XML permet de construire des applications Web et des sites web dynamiques interactifs sur le poste client.}

\lipsum[1-8]

\end{document}

  • Is it possible to write footnotes under the lowest foot bar?

  • The footskip that you have written will damage the final display of a report. Because, that bar will be mixed with the table just above. Have you please a better idea?

  • PERFECT! What about the space under the footnote?

  • Is it possible to remove it and place it over the footer bar?

  • @user3289501 I've edited the answer. Note, however, that the spacing depends on the contents of the page.
