Footer Gets Big

The errors that are left do happen to correspond to the beginning of the comments section…

But honestly, I don’t think I see the problem you are describing. Can you point me to a page where you see this issue?

I’m trying to help you– for free. Don’t be rude.

The footer– the gray and white bar– on your page is exactly the same size on all of you pages on several different browsers and three different OSes. But I think maybe I figured out what you are talking about. Are you talking about the space between the bottom of the post and gray and white bar at the bottom of the page? If so, the short answer is that there is no problem. The footer is doing just what it is supposed to do– float to the bottom of the page, whether the bottom happens to be the bottom of the post content or the bottom of the sidebar. You just want it to do something different. That’s all. To do that you are going to have to edit the theme. You’ll need to (probably) move the gray bar out of the footer and put it into, maybe, div id="centercol" then play with the CSS most likely. I say maybe because I don’t exactly how your theme is coded but that should get you started.

Right. I understand. That gray bar floats to the bottom of the page no matter what defines the bottom. You don’t want it to do that. It sounds like you want it to stick with the bottom of the main post content/post body section. To make it stick to the bottom of the post body you are going to have to rewrite a little bit of your theme. The last few sentences of my previous comment explains what I think, tentatively, you’ll need to do. But I can add to those comments a little bit. It looks like the image is a background image so the thing to do might be to remove the background image CSS from the footer, create another div inside the post body section and add the background image information to that div. I can’t be more specific because I can’t read the raw PHP from you site and your theme looks to be a commercial theme so I can’t easily download it either.

Well, I think I’ve described as well as I can what you need to do. Take a shot at adding a div inside div id="centercol". In your CSS file, or one of them, you’ll have to assign the new div a height and width and a background image– for the background use the same as the current footer; background: #E4E2DB url(iceblue/bgr-footer.gif) repeat-x scroll 0;.
