Damn it. Just when I thought I’m getting the hang of it… CSS scored against me again. As some of you might notice I re-skinned abinarylife with a new and improved theme, which originally is Modicus (by Upstart Blogger), mind you I have shuffled it around slightly. And to add this extra touch I would like to have this little graphic running at the very bottom.

Pretty straight forward that, isn’t it? #footer and all that. Well not really, so far the CSS is winning unless you can see the image when you scroll down (highly unlikely). I gathered the jaiku troops for the battle, got some charming help form @arjw, we might have lost the battle but… and so on.

This is how the footer looks so far in the stylesheet:

#footer {padding: 0px; margin: 0px auto; width: 100%; background: transparent url(“http://www.abinarylife.com/images/footer.png”); 0 0 repeat-x; overflow:hidden; }

…just in case you feel like having a go.

to the footer or image parameters?

to #footer

Ciaran added these pithy words on Sep 30 08 at 5:49 pm

you also probably need display: block;

No such thing as CSS beating me :P

Add the height to the #footer and all should work out. Make sure that there is no position:absolute and also that you do clear:both (just in case there are floats in other divs)

but look where the footer is… on top??

There are two footer DIVs, hence the issue.

Yea you have 2 footer divs so rename one, also you have to take the footer out of the wrapper div, do you use firebug for firefox it has a in-line real-time css editor that will help you

yes, i’m on fire fox, but i think this is beyond me. ARJW is looking into it at the moment, says it would be php that’s faulty not css…
