You say footers? I've done footer! the code is mainly css with the
contents for the footer generated by jquery.
$("body").metaFootie();
where
jQuery.fn.metaFootie = function() {
var a = []
$("[EMAIL PROTECTED]").each(function(){a[a.length] = "<acronym title='"
+
this.content + "'>" + this.name + "</acronym>"});
return this.append("<span class='meta'>Meta:" + a.join(' – ') +
"</span>").children('.meta').click(function(){$(this).hide('slow')})
}
and the css in question is
.meta
{
color: blue;
background-color: yellow;
border: 1px solid #000000;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: auto;
bottom: 0px;
display: block;
font-size: large;
font-style: italic;
z-index: 1000;
width: 100%;
}
hope it helps... the guts of the positioning was all in the css!
