Hi Brett,
I feel your pain™. My suggestion might be a bit unwelcome on this
message board but from personal experience, the only way I've been
able to get a footer to stick consistently in all browsers is by
using a table for layout. This is a pretty good resource if you want
to go down this route: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/
bestwebdev.html
I've attempted the footerStick and footerStickAlt from themaninblue
and *almost* got it working for a couple of clients. But there were
always a couple of hiccups. Eventually I convinced one client that
the footer didn't need to stick at the bottom but the other client
insisted and I ended up using a single table for layout. Sacrilege I
know, but it works. Until min-height is sorted out five years from
now when IE5,5.5&6 are all dead we may be stuck with at least a
single table for forcing footers to the bottom of the view port. If
anyone else knows of a pure-CSS solution that doesn't involve even
less semantic html than a single table for layout and works reliably
in all browsers, I'm all ears.
HTH,

My goal is the same as footerStickAlt [1]. I can't get this footer to
stick to the bottom of the page in any browser.
My guess is that this has something to do with a series of background
images that are generally not being computed as part of 'height'. Or
perhaps the use of absolute positioning. I'm really at a loss.
Sorry there is so much to look at on this page. It's a local copy of a
live site.
Thanks,
Brett
