CSS - Too Much Room Under Footer

Here is my page: http://dev.donmyersministries.com/

The CSS in on the page itself still.

My problem:
I want my footer to go at the bottom after the two columns, but I just can't figure it out. I have read several tutorials on keeping the footer at the bottom, but nothing has worked for me.

This is my first (good) CSS only layout. Help!

Thank you all.

So I have this site and I'm not great with css, but this one has to be done all in css I think. And I've got everything working except for the footer. The footer needs to display below the background image which is aligned center top. So if there is plenty of text, the footer should display below all of the text, and if there isn't much text then it should display under the background image.

This is how its currently set up:

container div
header div
wrapper div
wrapper div
left div
middle div
right div
footer div
wrapper div

the footer has
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;

the container with position: relative puts the footer up the top over the top of the header. With position: absolute it does something else weird, and with neither it puts the footer at the bottom of the screen over the top of the content.

the wrapper has relative position, which seems to be why the left, middle and right divs are positioning correctly with their positions as absolute. I think the header just positions correctly since its up top. So it would seem I'd need the footer to be inside another div that is position relatively. I just tried that, but it also positions the footer at the bottom of the screen with more content under it..

I guess what I want really is to have the site split into three horizontal divs, header, main and footer. Then within each of those to center all of the content to only 975px wide. And really its only the main div that needs the background image at all.

Can anyone help?

I want my footer to have no whitespace under it (like 1px ).

I have it set like this:

#footer
{
border-top:1px solid;
text-align:right;
margin:0px;
font-size:smaller;
padding-bottom:0px;
}

and it doesn't work so I'm guessing it is somewhere else in the file but I've tried messing around with most (all?) of the padding / margins and it still doesn't work. How could I do this? What I want is like the footer at http://www.oswd.org .

Code:

http://xbox-free.co.uk/

Can anyone advise as to why my footer is overlapping/floating to the right?

Cheers,
Neil

Hi all,

I'm having troubles with my footer and I hope someone will be able to help:

test.katiefleming .ca (remove space)

User: wendy
Pass: letmein

The footer is supposed to span across the bottom forever should the user increase the browser window (this works).

However, my text moves as the window is expanded/contracted. I want it to be fixed.

No idea how to do this. Any help would be great!

Hello All,

My question regards footers using CSS.

How would you have a footer like they do on Linkworth(dot)com so that it fluctuates depending on how long the page is?

So if you have a really long scrolling page, the footer is at the bottom and likewise if the page is really short, the footer is also at the bottom, but so there is never any white space below it.

I have a similar design I am working on, but when there is too much type, it runs behind the footer image and the footer never moves down accordingly.

Thank you for your help - appreciated.

Hi,

Im trying to make my footer on my page be a certain height of around 150px.

BUT I want it to fill to the bottom of the page even when there is less content or the window is made larger or smaller.

So basically a sticky footer which fills to the bottom of the page.

An example would be the footer he yoast.com

My current CSS is he

#fwrap
{
background-color:#BAAE9F;
border-top: 1px solid white;
border-top-width: 1px;
border-top-style: solid;
border-top-color: white;
width:100%;
height:100%;
height:145px;
}

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hello. Maybe this would be a better post on CSS. Here is my code. Right now I'm trying to add a set of links at the bottom of the web page. Any thoughts? This has been driving me nuts!


Thanks again everyone

This page describes an effect I am trying to achieve, but doesn't work in either Safari or IE 5 on the Mac. The footer always appears at the bottom of the canvas and not at the bottom of the viewport as it is claimed to do in the first demo. How else can this type of footer be done so that it will work with these browsers (and have better browser compatibility in general?) Thanks!

HI there

I am wondering if anyone can help with a css issue I am strugging to resolve.

The url is simplyroomsandsuites co uk (forward slash) blog

You can see where the footer image is floating left.. I have tried to float it centrally but it disappears.

Thanks for any help.



.footerArea {float: left; display: inline; width: 950px; background: url(/images/main_area_bottom_curve.png) top left no-repeat; padding: 30px 0 20px 0;}

I have two issues:
1. I have been trying to make a habit of validating my stuff and when I tried to validate my page, I get these errors:
Quote:
1. Error Line 31 column 64: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

..."index.htm"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="ICOM"></a>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".

✉
2. Info Line 31 column 23: start tag was here.

<a href="index.htm"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="ICOM"></a>

3. Error Line 36 column 89: end tag for "img" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.

..."images/index_img.jpg" alt="ICOM"></a></div>

✉
4. Info Line 36 column 43: start tag was here.

...iv id="indeximg"><a href="about.htm"><img src="images/index_img.jpg" alt="ICO




I don't know what this means.


2 (and the primary reason for posting this).
I made a page and I have a footer that I want to keep at the bottom of the page regardless of whether the page stretches down that far. In Firefox, it works great. In IE, the footer looks like it moves to the left about 50% and then proceeds to stretch the page 50% more off to the left.

My site is: www.icomministries.com
My CSS file is: www.icomministries.com/style.css

Hi can someone please help me position the footer so that it is always at the bottom of the page. Any help at all would be appreciated.

I have a css file which looks good enough in internet explorer 6 but when i check it in firefox the footer box goes to the top of the page and the footer links go to the right column box. Where am I going wrong with this? Can anyone please point me in teh right direction please?

If anyone can help me it would be very much appreciated as i am absolutely puzzled. I am not sure if i have put something wrong in the footer or if it is the wrapper.

Thanks in advance

I am having problems with the footer of our site on the homepage at http://www.themax.co/ . This problem is ONLY occurring in the AOL browser (yes, it's annoying). See the attached image...

In the AOL browser, the footer links (HOME, ABOUT, etc.) are sitting ontop of the READ MORE buttons (in the 3 bottom boxed).

I tried adding a <div style="clear:both"></div> between the footer and the boxes, but that didn't work.

Then I tried a min-height hack - I added the <div class="prop"></div> and <div class="clear"></div> tags to each of the boxes. But that didn't work (the prop and clear class are defined in my stylesheet) ... but that didn't work either. Ug.

Running out of ideas.

Please help.
