CSS - Footer Fixed To The Bottom Works In Ff But Not Ie...

Okay I've gotten to a point in my design where I'm a bit stumped.

I have been working on a three column layout with a fixed header and footer. The entire idea behind the fixed footer is so that my entire promotional press kit and social networks will be available and in view in the footer above the fold at all times for easy access.

After a few little tweaks the layout looks good and turned out nicely. However, now I am adding content and navigation and I am having some issues with regards to how it is reacting when my browser window is re-sized and the layout of the far left navigation.

Okay so when I shrink the browser window two things happen, I get a horizontal scroll, which isn't too bad, I mean that is normal in a lot of sites but because the footer and header are fixed it looks a little weird. Is there a way to stop this without going fluid? The other thing it does when it is shrunk, the background image in the footer shifts to the right along with the navigation which should not happen if it is fixed right? What is could be causing that? If I have nested div inside the footer div does it need to be declared fixed too or can it be relative because it is a child of the footer?

The biggest problem is that my navigation menu on the left will have four links. I would like two links above and two links below. I would like the top left and bottom left to align to the left with space between those two links and the top right and bottom right, which will also align left. How would I accomplish this using the least amount of mark up in the xhtml and the least amount of code in css?

Right now they aren't links, I'm just trying to lay it first. What I was thinking, was using a div to hold a footer ul and li class? Would I just apply the class to each link or would I apply the class to two, one div class above holding two links and one div class below or do I even need an extra footer div anyway if I'll be assigning separate classes?

I'm confused as to the best way to fix all this, your help would be appreciated, the xhtml validates and so does the css.

Here is the link to the testing site: http://www.lonniebruhn.com/sitelab/

First, I should share this fantastic piece of code for sticky footers (footer stays at the bottom even when content is short):

http://scott.sauyet.com/CSS/Demo/FooterDemo1.html

It works great for a liquid layout in FF and IE6.

However, for fixed width layout, the container is left justified instead of centering the container. See:

http://shawkey.com/stickyfooter/fixedlayoutstickyfooter.html

Anyone want to hack at this with Firebug and see if they can get the container to be centered?

Thanks!

Greetings!

I am trying to position a transparent gif at the bottom of a page, repeating on the x axis, so that text scrolls behind it.

I have the gif fixed at the bottom of the page, but the text is still over top of it. I think I will need to create an element, position it at the bottom of the page, use the transparent gif for the background, and give it a z-index higher than zero, right? If so, I can't get it it to work!

What I am currently doing: Code:

body{
  background:transparent url('/flames.gif') center bottom fixed repeat-x;
}

I've been trying to implement a footer on the site I'm working on, and I want it to stay at the bottom of the page. If there's content that pushes down, I want the footer at the bottom of the content.

I've been trying to implement the method described by these two sites: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1239966&postcount=3
http://www.themaninblue.com/writing/perspective/2005/08/29/

but I'm having a hard time with the longer content page.

Here's two examples on the site I'm working on that I have up and nearly ready. Short page: http://windrivers-gsp.com/WRK/index.php
Long page: http://windrivers-gsp.com/WRK/hclub.php or
http://windrivers-gsp.com/WRK/dams.php

As you can see, the footer won't go to the bottom of the longer content on the long page, and I can't figure out why. I believe I've cleared everything, even implementing the PIE/Aslett clearfix on the container div.

I think I'm just to the point where I need some more experienced eyes to take a glance and point out where I must have missed something. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh, BTW, here's the addy for my CSS: http://windrivers-gsp.com/WRK/wrkCSS.css

And yes, I know there's a nasty hack in place currently for the navigation menu. I'm working on that after I get the footer problem fixed.

Having some difficulty here in putting the footer at the bottom of the page. I've looked at dozens of help tools, and none of them work. I'm obviously missing something.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I've attached a *.gif picture of how my site looks. It is completely coded in CSS. The footer just lies underneath the content, and I want to be able to move the footer to the bottom of the page. Below the sidebar.

Does anybody know how to do this?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

I believe this has been asked before, but I'm unsure what search terms to use...

Basic one column CSS layout. How to keep the footer at the bottom of the window even when content doesn't reach that far?

Hey

I am relativly new to CSS and i was wondering how can i make the footer of my page stick to the bottom of the screen if the page is relativly short. I use a 800x600 as my design size but there might be long and short pages.

Can anyone shed some light?

I created a footer that sits on the bottom of the screen using this code:

.footer {
padding-top:5px;
margin-top:5px;
font-size:8pt;
color:#FFFFFF;
position:absolute;
bottom:0px;
background-image:url('gfx/bg-bottom.jpg');
height:22px;
width:100%;
}


It looks fine when the window is expanded to the size of the screen, but when you shrink it down (so the scroll bar will appear) and then scroll, the footer bar scrolls with the page.. It's kind hard to explain, just give it a try he

http://www.juiceboxseo.com/do-it.php

Is there a way to make sure it stays on the bottom?

Ok, I've taken many different approaches to this and I can't find a solution. I'm looking to make my footer align to the bottom of the browser window. For some reason I can't so I figured I'd post up my code here and get a different set of eyes to scan over it and help me out.

Here's the code:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

<!--CSS-->
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="structure.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="print.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
	
			<title> MY TITLE GOES HERE! </title>
		
	</head>
	
<body>

<div id="container">

        <div id="nav_container">

	MY MENU STUFF GOES HERE!

        </div>

<div id="content">

	<div id="left_column">
	
	BLAH BLAH all my content goes here!

	</div>
	
<div id="right_column">
	
ALL OF MY RIGHT CONTENT HERE!
			
</div>

</div>

<div id="footer"></div>

</div>

</body>

</html>

and this is the stylesheet driving the page:

Code:

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. I just made the jump to complete CSS layouts about 3 days ago so I'm still really new to this

Thanks in advance,

Hi there, my first post here.

I'm working on my first site using CSS for layout. I have a footer as a div that I want to be the last thing on the page, doesn't need to stick to the bottom or anything. It's obeying on my other pages, but on this index page I can't figure out why its not going to the bottom.

the site is at w w w. montrosemusicseries com / indextest html

I'm assuming its some kind of float thing that's not clearing, but I have my <br style="clear:both"/> in there. I also tried a div clear to no avail. Any suggestions?


Thanks,

Stuart

Hi!

how may i fix it?
thanx!

Can somebody please help me with a problem i am having with my footer. I have been reading through articles and help forums for days now trying to get a footer on my theme that will stick to the bottom of the document. At the moment the Footer is sticking to the bottom of the page, but as the content of my pages are longer than the viewpoint, My footer is appearing in the middle of my content. I have been trying all sorts to try and figure this out, and everything i try seems to not work.

My website is here
My HTML code can be found here
And my CSS Code can be found here
Many thanks,

Hi everyone,

It's been a while since I've opened up a .css file so forgive me. I have a couple of questions about this partiular site. It's a test site I'm workig on...

http://www.karenwilliamson.com/joom2/

I would like if possible to fix the footer in a fixed position and not have it rise and fall according to the amount of content on each page. Click some of the random links and you'll see what I mean.

Also, while I'm here I can't figure out how to adjust the spacing in the main content area to be more uniform between IE7 and FF.

It seems to my novice eyes that it should be controlled by
Code:

table.contentpaneopen

Maybe I'm being too nitpicky but I'm sure there is a way to make it more uniform among the two browsers?

Thanks for any input

Rob
