I've got a 2-column tableless layout and I'm using floats to render the
columns. Here are the basic style definitions for the 2 columns:
#left_col {
width: 59%;
float: left;
clear: left;
}
#right_col {
width: 39%;
float: right;
clear: right;
}
This works fine and allows dynamic column widths. Note that the
heights of the columns are independant of each other. The problem I'm
having is getting a footer to show up at the bottom of these columns.
It actually works fine in IE, but not in other browsers (I've tried
Firefox and Opera). What happens is that the footer shows up at the
bottom of whichever column is last in the HTML code. And I've got the
2 columns wrapped inside a div, but I still get the same result.
The basic html is:
[-----------
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="left_col">
some content.
</div>
<div id="right_col" >
some content.
</div>
</div>
<p>This is the footer.</p>

For the <p> at the start of the footer line, add an in-line style or a
reference to a style-sheet that has "clear:both ".

Yes, thank you - I found out that this is the basic idea behind the
solution. Well, actually, it is adding a div with "clear: both" at the
end of the div that is wrapping the 2 floated columns. But an even
better way to do this does not require adding anything to the html and
is the .clearfix class as documented here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html - I think this is
a very good solution.

David did mention to add or modify the class for the <p> that contained
"clear:both ". No need for inline styles or an extra <div>.
The ".clearfix" is meant to create a uniformity of presentation between
IE and the world for the way floated elements wrap content. It has no
advantage for your case except the "clear:both " rule. So all the other
rules in .clearfix are dead weight.

As it says in the subject, a two column layout (plus header and footer
boxes). I feel the left column really needs to be fixed width (151px) as it
contains an image, while everything else is fluid. However this only works
in IE 6.0. In Netscape and Opera I found that the auto width of the right
column is 100% so it jumps down below the menu if the left column is fixed -

Hi,
I'm trying to create a 2 column layout with a footer on the bottom, where
the (fixed-width) sidebar follows the content in the code, while showing
on the left hand side of the content.
The footer must stay at the bottom regardless of which column is the
longest, so absolute positioning is out, I need to use floats with the
clear: both; - property on the footer.
Doing this with the sidebar *before* the content in the code I know how

I'm trying (once again) to figure out how to make a robust

The problem, and one that always sends me back to using tables,
is that word "robust." Absolute positioning gets squirrelly,
because it takes the positioned elements completely out of the

I've been struggling to achieve the following layout for some time now
and I'm not getting anywhere. I've tried several approaches including
floats & absolute positioning and none seem to work, primarily due to
the footer not being aware of the columns due to me floating /
positioning them.
I have the following (very simple) markup:

<div id="left">...</div>

Hi guys and gals,
I'm working on a 2 column CSS layout (for an ordering system) in which it
isn't a priori known which of the two columns will be the longest, that
depends on the (script generated) content. As there is also a following
footer DIV, the usual floating one of the DIVs technique doesn't give the
desired results, and has the floated DIV (if it is the longest one) being
displayed/rendered through the footer DIV.
