padding: 115px 0.4em 2em 2.5em;
color: #606263; top:0;
}
#sidebar * {
max-width: 40em;
}
#sidebar .column {
float: left;width: 15em;
margin-right: 18px;

RE: [WSG] positioning help needed
Your problem is the sidebar, you need to make the position of it relative, then the footer will pop underneath it. To keep the sidebar liquid just float it to the right and use em's for the height, width etc. Many Thanks Disclaimer: This email and its attachments may be confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.

Re: [WSG] positioning help needed
Hi Kevin,
I'm not sure if this will help but I always use
.brclear
{
font-size: 1px;
line-height: 0;
clear: both;
height: 0;
}
after the last floated object on a page.
This has fixed footer floating issues for me before.
hope it helps

Re: [WSG] positioning help needed
Yup,
*clear: both* is the critical rule that allow the footer to clear both
floating divs above it.

... is not floating.
Unless you can predict the height of absolutely positioned content (you
usually can't) or want to rearrange the document with JavaScript after
initial rendering (nasty), then placing content below absolutely
positioned content should generally be forgotten about.
http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=CssLayouts has a bunch of points to
basic layouts that you can look at. If you have a footer, then you
probably want something based around floats, not abs pos.
