align footer bottm?

[philjohns]

Another question - Ive got my footer done now and it works - unless as can be seen below on the test page the content of my left-column is bigger than that of the right-column.

TEST PAGE

Ive added clear: both; to my footer-container but the container only seems to clear the right-column....

any help??

#footer-container {
	text-align: center;
	background-image: url(images/footerfade.gif);
	width: 100%;
	position: absolute;
	bottom: 0;
	bottom: -1px;
	height: 106px;
	margin: auto;
	clear: left;
}

This says clear: left not both?

[philjohns]

Yeh, I was fiddling with it but to no avail.

Ive just changed it back to clear: both;

can you tell me whats wrong with it?

This shows you the use of floats with nav on the right...

Page Layout | HTML Dog

It has float right for the other coloumn

Ok, Ive had a look at that site and it seems that with a bit of fiddling i can either have the footer clearing both content divs OR what I have now where it stays at the bottom of the screen unless pushed further own by the right-column . . . WHAT AM I DOING WRONG!?!?!

this is getting really frustrating!

thanks for everything so far btw.

Try following this from start to finish...

Floatutorial: Tutorial 8 - Step 1

Looking at the code it seems some of it was copied from somewhere and some of it could be conflicting

I'll have a looka t that hen I can find the time. The thing is though, it seems that I can only have either the footer clearing both columns OR the footer at the bottom of the screen clearing the right column if further down....

you try the code I gave you?

[philjohns]

Tommy, the code you gave me was for my exisiting website . . . not the one that I am trying to develop which is here : footerStick - Footer sticks to bottom of page

If you would like to give me/change my existing code so that my footer will be at the botom of the screen unless the content of EITHER two of my content columns push it further down I would be very grateful ;)

thanks anyway....
