I have a Footer that spans the width of the page. Within the footer there is an which is essentially acting as a footer background image that fills the entire width of the footer / page. However, in IE, there is some white space under the footer, when it should just be flush with the bottom of the page. Seems fine in Firefox, Safari, etc. Here's what I have, any recommendations on something to try?
<body>
<div id='container'>
<div id='content'></div
</div>
<div id='footer'></div>
</body>
CSS Is:
html {
font:62.5% 'Helvetica Neue';
color:#777676;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
font-size:1.8em; /* 18 px */
line-height:1.2em;
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}
#container {
width:906px;
margin:0 auto;
height:100%;
position:relative;
z-index:10;
}
#content {
padding-top:20px;
}
div#footer {
position:relative;
bottom:0;
clear:both;
width:100%;
z-index:1;
}
div#footer img {
width:100%;
border:0 none;
}
Add display:block; on the image, that should fix it...
(and use code highlighting in your question if you want <tags> to be visible in your text...)
That could be a very involved answer. I have ran into this before and I forget now how I solved it. First, I should ask which version of IE your testing in, it could be old. I don't think this is as much of an issue in IE 8 and above. Next, is your DOCTYPE set. Then try setting the height and/or line-height on the footer. Make sure all sibling and parent elements have their "position", "top", and "left" set.
Have you tried positioning it "absolute" and if that doesn't work remove all other elements in the body, adding them back in one at a time till it breaks and then figure out what is wrong with the element you added.

I know this has been asked somewhere else, but I can't find the solution. I have a simple layout. A container Div with two floating divs inside. The left div holds the navigation and has a background image. The right div has a solid background and is dynamic based on the content of each page. I am not having issues with the content div. My problem is I want the left div to "stretch" vertically to match the height of the content div. What is happening is the left is only stretching to the min-height value. Here is my CSS:
#containerTemp {
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
width:1000px;
min-height:100px;
height:auto;
}
#containerNavigation {
width:210px;
float:left;
background-image:url(../images/template/linkbgd.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
min-height:500px;
height:100%;
}
#containerContent {
width:790px;
background:#FFFFFF;
background-repeat:repeat-y;
float:right;
min-height:500px;
height:100%;
}

I am sure it's something simple, but I can't put my finger on it. Sorry for the redundant question, but my searches just didnt' turn up viable solutions.
Heights can be a bit tricky. However the goal is to make sure the parent containers have 100% height.You have a lot of stuff going on in your web page. So I created an isolated demo to demonstrate how this works.
HTML
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="right"></div>
</div>
CSS
html, body {height:100%;}
.wrapper {
width:400px;
height:100%;
margin:0 auto;
}
.left {
width:198px;
border:1px solid black;
float:left;
height:100%;
}
.right {
width:198px;
border:1px solid red;
float:left;
height:100%;
}

SOME OTHER STUFF I NOTICED:
If I can offer some advice I would suggest the following:
Don't use tables unless it is tabular data. Your NAV should be constructed using a list.
Remove all inline styles and place them in a separate stylesheet.
<meta> and <style> tags should be in the <head> of your document. (For some reason you have a partial doctype heading nested inside of your <head>)
And if you aren't already, I would suggest using a CSS reset.
I have a page news.html which is php included in my index.html - inside a #content div.
news.html has another div, which floats on the right and has a vertical line jpg to separate it from the main content, adds and stuff like that will be placed there.
Problem is I can't get it to 100% height(although it works for the line jpg) and I think the reason is some css issue. I also cannot place it below the footer for some reason, so that the 100% height line does not override it.
I use a main.css file for every page.
If I use position:fixed for the #poll div height 100% works, but then when zooming in/out of the browser my div moves which is not what I want. I know there is a min-width property but didn't seem to work for me.
Here is my code:
index.html:
//Content div is placed inside a #main table//
<div id="content"><?php include "news.html"?></div>
main.css:
html, body{
height:100%;
}
#main{
width:1010px;
height:100%;
z-index:2;
}
#content{
margin-top: 303px;
height:100%;
z-index:1;
}
#footer{
z-index:2;
}
#poll{
height:100%
background-color:rgba(255,0,0,0.6);
float:right;
z-index:1;
}
news.html
<div id="poll"><div style="background-image:url(images/vertical.jpg); width:5px; height:100%; background-repeat:repeat-y; vertical-align:top; position:fixed; top:0; z-index:0;"></div>
<div>POLL CONTENT HERE</div>
</div>
If you use z-index then give to at least one position relative or absolute
Then it will work, like this:
{
z-index:2;
position:relative;
}

z-index only works if you specify the position attribute for the element. So for each element for which you have given a z-index you need to specify the position to be either
position: relative;
or
position: absolute;
I dont get it. I wrote the code to have the footer always at the bottom. lets say sticky-footer. Here is my code.
body {
background-color: #edecd8;
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container {min-height:100%; position:relative;}
#body {
padding-bottom:20px;
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:20px;/* Height of the footer */
background: #FC0;}
</style>
<div id="footer"> contact | the athens store | Mitropoleos 37 </div>
With these code it didnt work well, actually the footer was not at the bottom but a bit higher. And then I added in the very beginning an html tag like this and it worked! Why was it wrong before?
html,body {
background-color: #edecd8;
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
browsers have a default page margin and padding, thats why you got a little space under you bar, and that is why developers use a css reset to ower write these.
Or by useing a simple code
if you replace this
html,body {
background-color: #edecd8;
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
to this
* {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
body {
background-color: #edecd8;
height:100%;
}
it will work and owewrite all the default browser paddings and margins
Browsers have a standard (and often differing) css for elements. The html element may have had a margin or padding applied, keeping your footer off the bottom a little bit.
Or the html element needed to be given the 100% height to get it to expand the full height of the window.
This is why CSS resets are used, to get to a baseline standard between the browsers.
I hope this is not a repost! I have looked everywhere and so I am sorry if it is.
I have a header div that is position:fixed and it has some image links and a login div. Since the position:fixed is relative to the window, whenever I resize the windows to test liquidity, the content in the header div gets jammed and starts to drop down the page.
Is there anyway to get a horizontal scroll bar to appear and remove the space? I have min-width set on the body and the header div but no luck. I am not coding for IE at the moment and only using latest Chrome and Firefox for testing now.
Thank you for any help!

i found this solution, it may help you
Set a min-width to your container:
#container { min-width: 1000px;}

Im not too great at CSS but hopefully someone on here can help. I have the following mockup. (i have stripped out my content to make it easy to view)
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header"></div>
<div id="body">
<div id="navBar"></div>
<div id="mainContent"></div>
</div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
my CSS is as follows:
html,
body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
height:100%;
}
#container {
min-height:100%;
position:relative;
}
#header {
background:#ff0;
padding:10px;
}
#body {
padding:10px;
padding-bottom:60px; /* Height of the footer */
}
#footer {
position:absolute;
bottom:0;
width:100%;
height:60px; /* Height of the footer */
background:#6cf;
}
now im unsure as to how to get the "navBar" to be the page height. I've tried adding height: 100% but that doesnt work.
Thanks,
Matt
Giving an element height: 100% will give it a height equal to that of its containing element, which in your case is #body. Since body in your example is only as big as it needs to be to hold its content, #navBar will be 100% of that height.
To fix this, you can make #container and #body height:100% to make them as tall as tho body tag, which takes up the whole page:
#container {
height:100%
}
#body{
height:100%;
}
In the interest of completeness, you could also set the top and bottom of #navBar:
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
bottom: 60px; /* height of footer */
To understand the difference, play around with This JS Fiddle. Mess around with the height and top, bottom, position properties to see how your changes affect the layout; just don't use both positioning methods at once!
Your issue appears to be that each parent DIV all the way up to the BODY tag must explicitely have a height of 100% for #navBar to have 100% height. This means you would also have to set the height of #body to 100% as well, since it is the parent container of #navBar.
Have a look at this site - I assume you want a two column layout - this site will show you how to do what you want. Hope it helps.
