CSS - What's Wrong With My Footer?
I'm attempting to build my first purely-css site, and it's both exciting and quite frustrating.
My latest frustration, after having found a 3-column format I like, is the footer. It looks fine in IE, but in Firefox its placement is entirely wonky - up under the header and behind the main content. Check it out at: http://www.theatrebayarea.org/v2/ and the css is he http://www.theatrebayarea.org/v2/css/default.css It does this whether I put the #footer <div> inside or outside the #frame <div>. Any ideas on why it's doing this, and how I could have it reliably appear at the bottom of the three columns? Thanks, Daniel Similar TutorialsI'm having trouble with my website structure... view this page for an example... css is here... The Footer (which currently consists just of the validation images) is suppossed to be at the bottom of the page... It works in IE except there is a little line between the images (it is also part of the link...), and it doesn't work at all in FF... how do I get rid of the line in IE, and what do I need to add or change in my css to get it to be viewed properly in FF? Thanks Bryan 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? Code: http://xbox-free.co.uk/ Can anyone advise as to why my footer is overlapping/floating to the right? Cheers, Neil Hey All, I'm stumped on a problem I'm having with css. Here's the website I'm working on: johnraymondonline.com/mjbfoundation/ It's wordpress and I was working to modify a template. The problem I'm having is with the div for the footer. I've made the width 100% and it's not expanding the full width of the page. I've checked to see if it was encased in a div and it appears as if it isn't. I'm not sure what to do at this point...use absolute positioning? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!! 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. later 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 . 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. I've read through a few CSS documents and I can't find any references to this, so excuse me if I've missed something (which I hope I have!). I want to be able to place a footer on my pages and always have it stuck to the bottom of the browser window, regardless of the amount of content in the page. So even if the page were nothing but the header and footer, the footer would be right at the bottom of the page. Can I do this in CSS? 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!

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 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! I'm sure this has been asked, and I've googled for help without finding anything that works. I'm redesigning a site from html/tables -> css and need to keep a footer at the bottom of each page (after the content, not stuck to the bottom of the window). Being pretty unfamiliar with css positioning I'm having a bit of trouble. Site is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles CSS is here - huguenotbats . com / redesignfiles / stylesheets / hbstyle . css As is everything works, but when I try to add a footer it sits on top of the content. Help, anyone?? I need to have a footer fill the rest of the brower window below all the content. The footer needs to be the same with as the content(ie 760). The content area needs to be transparent, because there is an tiled background gradient image used. So the fill can only be in the footer.. I might just be over worked/tired but i can't seem to get anything to work.... PLEASE HELP! Hi there, I was wondering if someone could help me a with a problem with my footer positioning. I'm building my website he thecoastguard.co.uk My footer is sitting to the right of the sidebar. I want it to be centered. The current CSS is: #footer {float:left; border-top: 1px solid #cccccc; padding: 0; margin: 20px 0 0 0; clear:both; width: 850px;} #footer p {margin: 0; padding: 5px 10px; text-align: center;} I've tried changing the float to right. That works in firefox but not in IE. Center float does nothing at all. any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks! Siobhan hi Guys, Ive had a play and cant solve this problem. Ive got a gradient that is 200px tall that repeats across the top of my page set as the background. I also have a container with a width of 850px centered. I need to create another gradient that repeats across the bottom of the page (200px tall also). What ive done is taken the footer div out of the container and put it underneath in the html set the width to 100% height to 200px and repeated the background - this works but if there is no content in the container the footer sits half way up the page sooooo I add position: absolute with bottom: 0px which brings the footer to the bottom of the page even if no content is in the container SWEET but if I start streching the actual browser window up and down the footer will ride over any other element on page. Hello All, I am trying to add a background image to the footer that repeats accros the entire page and is 300px height. The code I have generates a color but it is limited to 960px. I tried adding a background URL to image but no success. Any suggestions. Thank you. #footWrapper{ background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #000000; display: inline; float: left; width: 100%; } Hi I've been coding amateur websites and PHP applications for years, but I recently decided to try and learn how to design a website professionally - that is, using Photoshop to mock it up and create a logo, and holding the contents in place using CSS. I'm very pleased with the result (which can be found at haruhi.kg13.com), but there is one bug that I've been trying in vain to resolve, and that is the footer. It took a while to make the footer stay in place, and now it permanently stays on top of any content, which is obviously an issue where I intend to be creating rather long pages without the use of iFrames or any other page-within-a-page technique. Essentially, what I want is for my footer to stay at the bottom of the page (not the browser window) with a 15px margin above it so that I can display as much text as I like on any given page. It's best displayed on the "legal" page, if you increase the font size a bit. Here is my source code. I know some of the CSS elements look unnecessary; I've tried several tutorials for this problem, and this one told me to add a lot of CSS classes. CSS: Code: main.css @charset "utf-8";
