Hi John You have your #contentcolnav2 floated and your #navcol4, #navcol4, #navcol4 are absolutely positioned which removes these elements from the flow. This is why the footer rises up. I have only tested in FF but the below style should work with other browsers. #contentcolnav2 { margin-bottom: 100px; padding-bottom: 4em; } I see that you have many styles and a few selectors repeated. The below styles you have repeated in places, style which are inherited to the descendant elements. font-style:normal; font-family: verdana, helvetica, helvetica neue, arial, sans-serif; list-style-type: none; font-style: normal; font-size: 11px; You can also group selectors with the same property and values as. p.marker, tr.marker, ul.marker, dd.marker { background-color:#fff0dc; Cutting back on what is not needed will help you understand your CSS better.
