Hi all,

Having a little problem with my footer.

It sits over the bottom of the text in my main div.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, I noticed in your CSS class for divfooter, you don't have position:relative; like you do for the others. Perhaps that's the problem?

I have just tried that and it keeps the footer in the same position, but over the main text instead of underneath it.

Is it something to do with margins?

It might be something to do with your margins, but I looked at your CSS and I didn't see position:relative; under the divfooter id. [That might just be my browser's cache if you did change it and put it in.]

I don't know much else about using relative positioning, so, I think this is as far as I can help. Maybe somebody else around here [who'll probably be, like, five million times smarter than I] will be able to find what your problem was. Sorry I couldn't be more help. :)
