Personally - I handle footers in .cfm includes.. I find it much easier - and simply it includes it at the end of the code. So on shorter and longer pages it simply displays at end.
If you needed to actually "attach" a footer to the bottom of the browser - something like <div id="FooterAbs" style="position: absolute; bottom: 0px; z-index: 300;"> would work. I added z-index more for demonstration - The issue is - that you can overalp content. Unlike using an include - that will put it at the bottom no matter what - you will need to scroll to get content beyone viewable screen -but footer will hang on to the bottom edge. Use it carefully because there are almost always some trouble spots. IF your footer can overlap content - not a biggie. In one case I used it - I assigned z-index of -100 ( which also has it's own bugs on browser versions) so on shorter page content the footer didn't interrupt. hope that helps jay miller Barney Boisvert wrote: > Totally unrelated, but on the same topic.
