Rebecca,

I have run across a similar problem in my work. My solution was to set the footer to float:left and a negative top margin . It works well in most circumstances. The only place it doesn't work that I know of is when the content is really short, this can be resolved with a min-height

I have setup a demonstration site at:

Hope this helps.

Yeah, I thought it might do that.

Here's the thing, though: the folks on the committee want the bottom of the footer lined up with the
bottom of the content on longer pages -- like this:
http://kenyonbuildout.babywhale.net/visit/subpage.html Knocking out the positioning would align the
top of the footer with the bottom of the content, I believe.

I'm betting this can't be done... but what do I know ;)

Sorry about the previous empty post--what I intended to say was: I played around with the css in Firebug and by removing the absolute positioning from the footer div, it dropped down below the nav and allowed all the links to
work again.  Do you need that div to be absolutely positioned?

Hi all,

Long time, no post.

Here's the problem of the day. I'm working with a web design vendor who
has decided that they need
to use Javascript to fix what should be a CSS problem. I don't find
this acceptable, but I'm having
a hard time convincing anyone who makes decisions of that. So instead,
I've got to try to solve the
problem so we don't have a broken page for people with no javascript.

I've had to put this up on my own personal server  to show to you.
Here's the page:

http://theredsetter.com/test/subpage.html

Visit it without Javascript and watch the address roll up over the
navigation; visit it with to see
what it should look like. Anyone have a fix for that that doesn't use
Javascript?

Notice that with Javascript off you *can't* use the navigation at all
because the footer gets in the
way.

Ignore the purple bar at the top -- it's supposed to have images in it.

If you notice any other problems, please tell me, but please don't yell.
I don't have a whole lot
of weight in this process and really can't get things changed.

Thanks,
~Rebecca
