Hi
I am designing a website for a local school, and I have knocked up a
quick prototype for them to look at. http://www.ianwatts.info/schoolweb/ http://www.ianwatts.info/schoolweb/school.css
The problem I am having is that the footer is not clearing both of the
previous divs - I am sure I am missing something very simple.
I have validated the HTML and CSS, and the only thing missing is ALT
attributes, and as this is a prototype, that doesn't seem too important
(and I am fairly sure it can't cause this problem - please correct me if
I am wrong)
I have achieved this before, but I can't work this out now.
Any suggestions?

Your #main has position:absolu te and float:right. This
doesn't work well together. Instead of position:absolu te and
left:19%, use margin-left:19%.

Thanks for the prompt reply, and the footer is now doing what I want,
but #main is now starting below the left col, instead of on the same
level (I think that is why I originally used position:absolu te)

Since your #main comes after #leftcol, I think you should
make it float:left, not right. Then you don't need the left
margin either. Or you could not float it, and give it a
left-margin. That's what I did on the site in my sig.
That way you can give the width of your menu in ems instead
of percentage, so the links remain easily readable when the
window is narrowed.

Hi, and thanks - both ways work perfectly - I have stuck with not
floating and using left margin.
Many thanks

I said it worked a bit prematurely - it works in Firefox, my browser of
choice, but not IE6, most peoples browser by default. However, your
first solution works in both (simply float it left)
Thanks again

Did you perhaps give a width to #main?

I've had it all working at some stage in Firebox, but it would not

This is driving me nuts. I've spent much time trying to style this
page footer but because I cannot set widths using "display: inline".
I've tried using floats. Now, for some reason, I can't get my borders
to display properly as it seems to nudge to the right for each level
of my footer (Firefox and IE).
Below is the CSS code.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
