[css-d] Sticky footer problem
www.oakleafdesignprint.co.uk/dmk/ I've spent two days trying to fix this layout, and getting nowhere. It doesn't look so bad in FF3 but a mess in IE7 (so what's new?)

Re: [css-d] Sticky footer problem
I've fixed the missing end tag, but it hasn't made a difference. According to everything that I've read, "position absolute" and "margin-bottom:0" should put an element that's last in the markup at the bottom of its container element. That fact that it isn't doing that, is what's making me tear my hair out. I suspect that the problem lies further up the page - a property of one of the other elements is disrupting the flow. Just can't seem to see it. Charles - I'm just trying to fix the basic layout at the moment - all the visual design stuff I'm leaving till later.

I've done something very similar recently. It's not too difficult. Create a container div that holds both your text and the image.

Re: [css-d] Best way to include
That's what I do when a stylesheet gets too long and complex. In those cases, I break it down into typography.css for the fonts, structure.css for the layout and style.css for the colors etc; I might also have a separate navigation stylesheet. The I write a main.css that contains nothing but links to the other stylesheets. Makes it all easier to edit and troubleshoot.

Yes, may "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". But to me, this site IS 'broken' - the coding is offensiely ugly.

As I said, correct the comment syntax, throughout your document- it
should be in the form of:
This 'commenting' syntax stops the browser from processing anything
that comes after the '' which tells the
browser to start processing the code again.

Re: [css-d] Use of empty DIVs?
I agree with you. Information within the code that's meant for humans to read should go into comments; div and ID names themselves should be fairly descriptive anyway (#maincontent, #leftcol etc.). HTML elements such as divs are meant to be read only by the browser and making the browser search the stylesheet for non-existent elements must have some effect on performance. And, as you point out, there's scope for forgetting to close a div. Val On 11 July 2010 21:10, Tim Offenstein wrote: > I'd like some feedback on this.

Re: [css-d] need help with IE6 duplicate characters bug
Just a guess - would it be something to do with the class names? They're both split into two unconnectioned sections. Try connecting all the words in each name with underscores and see if that makes a difference.

[css-d] Hide current page link
Is there a CSS method to hide the current page link in a navigation list? ie: if you're on the "widgets" page, you don't get the "See our crazy widgets!" link in the menu. I'm responsible for looking after a static HTML site that has had more and more pages added to it over the years, and changing the navigation on each page is becoming a chore. I know how to do includes, I'd just like to hide the current page link..

I suspected I'd have to use something like Javascript, but had hoped there might be an elegant CSS solution. Yes, I could include the navigation on every page and remove the current document link from every page manually - I already do that, and it's becoming a pain.
