OK try this:
1) Create a basic html doc like this as your test page:
<div id="container">
<div id="header">Your header goes here</div>
<div id="body">Your body contents goes here</div>
<div id="bottom_section">Your bottom_section text goes here</div>
</div>
2) Now use the following in your css file or whatever method you use to style
your page:
<style media="screen" type="text/css">
html,
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
border: 0;
height:100%;
background: #dddac7;
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background:#ff0;
padding:10px;
}
#body {
padding:10px;
padding-bottom:60px; /* Height of the footer */
}
#bottom_section {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:60px; /* Height of the bottom_section */
background:#6cf;
border-top: 2px red solid;
}
</style>
3) you need to tidy up your page so that all styles appear in one place and
your html becomes clean, tidy and simple. Even table styles can be separate
from table contents!
