Hi all,
The height of my page needs to be flexible as the page contains columns with lists which can vary in length. I also have a footer which needs to be stuck to the bottom.
I managed to do all of the above. My problem now is the positioning of the columns. With relative positioning, the columns appear staggered with column2 starting lower than column1.
If I use {float:left}, the two columns stay next to each other which is good but then the footer brings itself up and overlaps with the columns... I don't know if I am clear with my explanation so here is my code. Thanks in advance!

<div id="container-page">

Hi sooshi,
use float:left and remove the position:absolu te style from #container-foot. Kindly, early and often test ur pages through HTML validator CSS validator
Good Luck.
And use a proper doctype.
I have another urgent question concerning the same layout.
(http://cie7273.com/test/test.html)
The column with lists is not correctly aligned horizontally under IE 7. It should be aligned left with the rest of the layout. Instead, it appears a few pixels to the right.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
An 'id' is a unique name assigned to only one element on a page. Validate your html for that list of errors, then validate your css for the error there.
If those don't work, add margin:0 and padding:0 to the lists and/or containers.
What's with all the divs around the list?
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick.

Hi,
Just wondering if there are any disadvantage in absolute positioning
controls on a page?
In example instead of putting the text fields into a table to align
properly, one would absolute position them.
I understand the issue with resize, that is not a problem.

location on my page. When I do a browser resize, these images do not
move (obviously). However, the rest of my content is auto centered as...

I am trying to re-work an old site by replacing the html with css.
On the main page, I have a logo image which I needed centred on the

The problem is, under the image is a large table. But using the above
positioning, now the table starts at the top of the page and runs
underneath the image.

I posted a similar question yesterday, but didn't get an answer that
resolved the issue. (Thanks to those who tried though.)
The background: I've read in books and online that if you have one
element with "relative" positioning, such as a <div>, it creates a
"positioning context" for element within it. E.g., if you have a <p>
inside your <div> you can give it absolute positioning and position it
(right, left, top, bottom) in terms of the...
