[resolved] Footer floating on content (9 posts)

    So I've had this problem before, about 13 months ago, and now that I'm using the same concept the problem has popped up again. I just can't see the cause of the problem, I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes will help spot it.

    Here's the Problem Page. The footer is sticking to one position, instead of going below the content. It should only stick if there is not enough content on the page.

    I'm floating the content either side of the page, and have enclosed my float elements with overflow. So I don't know what to do next. If you can help, that would be amazing.

    Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    Yes, I know about those and they're being sorted out, but they aren't the problem.

    Well, sort them out and then come back and we'll have a look.

    I need the main problem fixed ASAP. Can you think of something that's doing that?

    Got most of the errors fixed. As expected, no improvement. Please help.

    I'm sorry but I can still see markup validation problems - including mis-nested tags.

    What does that mean?

    I managed to get better help on another forum. The solution was:

    1) To remove all {position: relative;} and {position: absolute;} statements.
    2) Move the overflow property to the parent of the float element.
