Default "Glue" footer graphic to buttom of the window - 05-26-2004 , 06:08 AM






Hi,

In the bottom of my website I have a table footer with copyright, e-mail etc.
How do I make this "graphic line" stick to the bottom of the window. I guess
I'm looking after something similar to the horizontal "Auto stretch"-function -
just the other way... does this description make sense?

Any help would be appreciated...

/Peter

Yes. It's not easily done in plain HTML. Table height doesn't work the
same as table width, and won't work at all (since it is invalid HTML) on
pages with valid doctypes. You can use CSS to do something like that, with
some browser variation.

Put your footer link into a <div> that is positioned at top="100%", with
margin-top set to a negative value that is the same as the height of the
footer's content. The layer will be positioned at the bottom of the page,
and then backed off by an amount equal to its height.

Try it....

Yes. That's why I qualified as I did at the beginning of the post....

Bummer indeed.
