This is very strange. I seem to have fixed the IE 6.0 issue, but now I have the 
issue in Firefox.



The footer seems to now be expanding outside of the main containing <DIV>.



I have put borders around the main <DIV>s on the page so that you can clearly 
see the footer breaking out.

(style @, http://www.oldsodbury-pri.s-gloucs.sch.uk/styles/screen-layout.css)



My footer CSS is like this...



#footer {

    height: 50px;

    width: 100%;    

    position: absolute;

    bottom: 0;

    left: 0;

    border: 1px solid #FF0000;

    background-color: #ABABAB;

    margin: 0 8px;

    text-align: center;

    color: #000000;

}



...and my main containing <DIV> has the following CSS...



#page-home {

    position: relative;

    min-height: 100%;

    height: auto;

    background: url("../images/bg_page2.gif") repeat-y; 

    padding: 0 8px;

    width: 743px !important; 

    width /**/:759px;

    border: 1px solid #FF0000;;

}



Hope you can help me here.



Tryst











>  How can I get the footer to stretch the full width that is used by the main 

outer <DIV> (page-home). without have to force in a width value?

>  I thought if I used width 100% this would do it, but the width of the footer 

in IE falls well about 20-30 pixels short.



Do you maybe have margin or padding on body or page-home?
