CSS problem

I am having a wierd problem with IE in CSS... I have a footer that is locked
to the bottom of the page with the bottom attribute set to 0px so it is 0px
from the bottom. but when you view the page in a new IE window the footer
div bar starts ABOVE the bottom, and when you refresh it, then it moves to
the bottom... has anyone ever seen this before and how do you fix it? I have
seen it once before in HTML with tabels on the right side of the screen once
in the past but CSS is new to me now.. here is my HTML and CSS code for this

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="main.css" >
</head>

<html>

<body>

<div id="container" >
<div id="banner">
<h1>Site name</h1>
</div>
<div id="nav">
<p>Lorem ipsum.. </p>
</div>
<div id="content">
<h2>Page heading </h2>
<p>Ut wisi enim.. </p>
</div>
<div id="footer">
Footer stuff here </div>
</div>

</body>

</html>
body {
padding:0px; font-size : 0.9em;
font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin : 0px
}

#header { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; height: 45px;
background-color: #2F4571; width:100%; right:1 }

#left{position: absolute; float: left; left: 0px; top: 0px; width: 200px;
background-color: #222222; height:100%}
#footer{positio n: absolute; bottom: 0px; height: 20px; color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000; left:0px; width:100%}
#right{}

#shaddow {position: absolute; float: left; left: 200px; width: 6px;
background-image:
url('images/shadrightdrop2. gif'); background-repeat:
repeat-y;
background-attachment: fixed; background-position: left top;
height:100%}
#content {background-color: #FFCCFF}
#banner {background-color: #99CCFF}

the footer is rendered before the body is resized, so its at the old
position. for this to work correctly, you need to set an absolute size to
body, or catch the body resize event, and reset the position of the footer -
you would need to do this to correctly handle page resizes anyway. you could
also switch to computed styles.

Hi Brian,

I've tested the page you provided and did find the problem. Also, I think
bruce's suggestion is reasonable. Since the problem seems occur everytime
the page is first time loaded, and after that , the footer's position will
be ok. I've done some tests on my side and you may have a try on the
following code:

=============== =====
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet " type="text/css" href="main.css" >
<script language="javas cript">
function bodyLoad()
{
document.getEle mentById("foote r").className=" #footer";
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="bodyLoa d()">
<div id="container" >
<div id="banner">
..............
=============== =============== =======

That manually reset the css classname for the footer <div> when the page's
body is loaded.

BTW, as for web form page, I think it'll be better to use relative position
mode rather than absolute position. Also, if possible, I suggest you
consider using html <table> element to structure the page's layout, that'll
be more flexible.

Thanks.

Regards,

Steven Cheng
