displaying a footer

Hi,

I spent quite a while to solve a problem (and noticed during my research
that the question was asked quite often, but I didn't find the answer
:-( )
We would like to place a footer (imprint and copyright) at the bottom of
a page). It should be at the bottom of the window, if there ist less
content. It should be at the very bottom of the page ift there is more
content. By now we have a 'solution', that is workinf with IE but not
with mozilla (and therefor it is not the solution).

the file basicly looks like:

<html>
<body>
<div class="content">
</div>
<div class="footer">
</div>
</body>
<html>

with

..content {
z-index: 4;
height: 80%;
overflow: visible;
}

..imprintpos {
z-index: 1;
height: 40px;
clear: both;
}
As far as I remember the height:80%; in content is a product of trial
and error.
The original site is:

http://www.fch.de/guides/search.pl
less content: 'new query'

more content: 'index'

Unfortunately you need to activate javascript for the page (no complains
please, it is all beacause of the brilliant implementation of html
standard by some folks in Redmond)

Best regards
Juergen

I haven't seen any really good solution that works with IE6, Mozilla, &
Opera - but this is probably the closest:

Now you mention it, it is indeed asked frequently. But I have never
understood why. What is the great objection to having a copyright notice
somewhat higher up the window than the absolute bottom?

Are you afraid that someone might read it? ;-)

Caveat:
I once applied the example CSS in that document to one of my pages; I
later received an email from a Safari user informing me that the footer
"rode up" to the middle of the page so I ended up commenting out the
footer and I haven't found a work around yet - it doesn't help that I
don't know anyone using Safari.

I did test with Opera, IE, Phoenix and Mozilla before putting the page on
the web though.

I could have asked differently: Give me a design-element, that 'closes'
(optical) the site a the bottom. For some reason the copyright can do :-)


That doesn't answer my question though. Why is having two tiny bits of
content, separated by lots of space, supposed to be better than having
the content together? It isn't something the reader is used to seeing in
a typical word-processor (unless perhaps he has a full A4 screen - still
uncommon) PDF reader, spreadsheet etc, and I can't see the benefit.
