Hi Christian >That way I found out that if you delete the >height: 1%; for the footer, the the #fauxframe is displayed:
That worked like a magic charm - I am so relieved - thank you. However, in IE 6 it resulted in the footer relocating itself halfway up the page, so I put back the height but with an underscore in front of it, ie _height: 1%;/* to fix footer to bottom of screen in IE6 */ and that did return to the footer to the bottom of the screen in IE6. Somewhere I have read, though, that using underscore like this is not a good idea (though it works). When I have time, I could try substituting * html body div#footer, div#pieddepage, div#seitenende { height: 1%; } which, I understand, is visible only to IE6, not to IE7, but I don't know if that would be "better" coding. >Don't aks me why that fotter style influences >the #fauxframe , because honestly I don't know. ;) CSS is full of things like this, isn't it? I more than half-expected the solution to be completely illogical :-) This is a wonderful list; I hope that I can give back to it as much good as I have derived from it.
