Hi all,

I'm wrestling with my first table-less site. I'm an experienced graphic 
designer and woefully inexperienced coder. The site in question is live 
at:
http://visfi.org
It looks best in FF, and has a few layout bugs - all critiques welcome.

One of the more urgent fixes needed is on short pages where the 
multiple column layout does not push the footer div down far enough to 
avoid running underneath the left hand column's content, like here:   
http://visfi.org/contact/index.html

I read a 2003 article on sitepoint.com 
(http://www.sitepoint.com/article/exploring-limits-css-layout ) about 
using javascript to solve the layout issue -  a script hides the footer 
element until the page is drawn, then calculates the location of the 
bottom of the content and reveals the footer element at that calculated 
vertical space.

Is that still considered a solid solution, or is there a simpler way to 
do this that will work across browsers? (I don't know how to pick a 
reliable Javascript from all the freebies out there, but they seem to 
be necessary for CSS cross-browser development?) Would running 
cross-browser.com's  x.js script (mentioned in that sitepoint article) 
help solve layout problems in general? When I go to the 
cross-browser.com site, the explanations of what the "x" script does 
are waaay over my head, but apparently I need a script to get my CSS to 
work properly on different browsers?? What do I really need?

Time is an object - this project is past budget and deadlines.

The stylesheets are:
http://visfi.org/visfi.css  (settings for all pages)
http://visfi.org/visfi_home_layout.css   (for the homepage)
http://visfi.org/visfi_secondary_layout.css   (for all other pages)
and CSS controls for the nav bar are dynamically generated from this 
script:
http://visfi.org/udm-resources/udm-custom.js

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!!

Christina
