I've been toying with this for many weeks now and it still doesn't
work as desired;
I'm trying to develop with css compliance.
In general my pages are within a container. Withing the container
there is a header, a left column menu/nav box, a right box which
contains the various pages content; and at the bottome of ALL pages is
the close of the container section followed by a footer.
The footer is defined as:
/************************************************** **************/
/* Common Page Footing Declarations */
/************************************************** **************/
..footing {
margin-top: 3em;
border-top: 1px solid #666;
padding-top: 1em;
font-size: x-small;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}
On MOST of my pages this seems to place a thin line at the bottom of
the page followed by a little space followed by my general footing
information, etc.
However, on several pages that can get to lengths that exceed the
initial viewable screen, all the page's content is shown (scrolling
required, of course) but the thin line of the footer appears through
the middle of the content but yet the general footing information
appears down at the bottom where it should be.
My output code is as follows:
print "
<!-- End of Main Page Content Area -->
</div>
<!-- End of Container Area -->
</div>
<!-- Page Footing Section -->
<div class=\"footing\">
Copyright © 2006 - blah blah
<img src=\"pix/pr1_logo.jpg\" border=\"0\" height=\"25\" width=\"25\"
align=\"middle\" alt=\"blah_blah logo\" />
Blah, LLC - all rights reserved
<!-- End of Page Footing Section -->
</div>
</body>
</html>
";
Can ANYONE please explain why this output might not be working as
expected ONLY on certain long pages?
I can find nothing in all my CSS books that describe this condition
nor can I find anything that disputes exactly how I'm doing this.
I my output requires changing, so be it. I want to learn how to
control this so it does what I expect it to do and I will change it if
needed.
Please someone, explain?
Thanks,
Bob
