Have I arrived at the semantically correct solution for placing the footer. Also before beginning the typographic positioning , does the core CSS have semantic credence.
I'm not sure that I quite understand your questions, Chris
I can't see how semantics have a place in the positioning of any element. The term 'semantics' when bandied about in standards-based web design (as it often is) refers to using markup tags for the purpose for which they were intended, ie using <h1> tags instead of simply making bold a particular bit of text and making it bigger
Sorry, if I've missed the point and I'm teaching you how to suck eggs (what does that expression mean, anyway?)
On the other hand, I think that is an excellent solution for placing a footer. I use it all the time (probably why I think it is excellent, no?) and it works beautifully
Again, when it comes to the 'semantic credence' of your CSS, I'm not sure that CSS can be said to have semantics. Except possibly in terms of the IDs you have used. Certainly I attempt to steer clear of using IDs such as 'column1' and 'column2'. I prefer to describe the purpose of that block of content, ie 'maincontent' and 'subcontent'. This helps if I decide to move the content around later
This doesn't hold any real semantics, but I find it neater and more in fitting with the concept of semantic code as I understand it
