# Rin Theme CSS / Footer problem

* The footer stays within the container tag, eventhough the CSS / PHP template
file says this:
‘
’
* From this I would think the container block would close and the then footer would
show, but the footer is within the container – and streching it out wide right,
thus causing my problem.
* I’ve tried posting a clean version of the RIN Theme – didn’t fix. I’m using XP
with Firefox and IE. Theme is 1.1 and WP is 2.0.3
* Any help would be great!
thanks nsl

Are you
sure you cleared the cache? Because the div nesting doesn’t look right currently…

* Thanks for the reply Yosemite!
* The current version is not the clean version. I changed it back. But I didn’t
clear the browser cache, I noticed the that the blog header had changed, but
the problem footer didn’t.
* I try again and clear the cache…
* shift reload in Firefox didn’t fix it.
* What do you see in the nested div tags?

* I can’t actually ‘see’ them, but according to the source, the footer is in the‘
container’, but it’s also in the ‘contentright'(?) which is the div for the actual
posts.
* I suspect a closing div might have been lost? And then fixed/replaced but put
in the wrong place.
* Did you copy/paste code from any theme files? Try checking the original (Rin)
index.php file, does yours close div’s and `` is the last
line look similar? e.g.;

* I think the problem is in your last post. Should it be all bold?

* [@jwurster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jwurster/): Yeah – that document
was copy / pasted from a News paper website and it’s jacked up pretty good. But
I took out the -strong- tags and fixed it with dreamweaver – still the problems.
* [@yosemite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yosemite/): Thanks for your help
on it. Right now I’m using the fresh copy of the theme and the problem is still
there.
* Okay so here is the funny part: When I copy the HTML source and the CSS, and
I paste them into a new document – it works fine. check it out here:

* I think it’s something to do with the server… when I test that file locally it
displays fine, but when I upload it to the server it displays this way… download
the files and try it yourself.
* thanks for working through this with me… If I can’t fix it tonight, I’m going
to get a new theme.
* thanks,

* Okay… I put in a bunch of closing div tags and it works. It doesn’t validate,
but it displays correctly.
* I’ve looked to see if there is a div tag that wasn’t closed in a post but I can’t
find it.
* The whole thing is screwy to me. I have no idea, but I”m going to bed.
