sticky footer issue

[Ratboy]

i'm attempting to add the sticky-footer.html example into my bootstrap 
project.
however there is a clash of code in the body class that is screwing with my 
layout.

in my page code with responsive fixed navbar:

      body {
        padding-top: 60px; /* 60px to make the container go all the way to 
the bottom of the topbar */
    }


in the sticky footer:

 html,
      body {
        height: 100%;
        /* The html and body elements cannot have any padding or margin. */
      }


does anyone know a work around for this?

cheers
