Hi Travis, Have you found a solution to this yet? A webpage is only ever as long as the content within it. You can make footers sit at the bottom of the screen by using javascript which works out the window size, I used it once (on http://www.eastwoodhill.org.nz/). But normally (and I reckon

Hi Rachel, Everything looks a-ok in Safari Flock. I dont know what to suggest, maybe instead of a float:left, use a position:absolute and then play around with margins?? Jus a thought, I may be completely way off the mark. IE should be placed in a lead container and thrown into the

2007-01-14 Thread Bojana Lalic
