Greetings All!
I am in the final stages of putting together a all CSS site and have now
got IE to play nice and got the site to work on IE, Firefox Netscape 7.2
and Opera but there are two things I needed to do to 'force' it to work.
Please have a look at these two points and if you can give me some
clarity on why I had to go this root or, show me a better way to do it,
it will be much appreciated.
On the footer of the site, www.volume4.com/pattersonpruden/index.html, I
have the following layout:
<div id="footer">
<div id="footer-block-one"></div>
<div id="footer-block-two"></div>
<div id="footer-content">COPYRIGHT 2005 PATTERSON PRUDEN LLC - ALL
RIGHTS RESERVED</div>
</div>
The first two divs are used to create the 'gradient' effect from dark to
light gray and contains no images or text. The last DIV is the container
for the actual text. The CSS that controls this area is:
#footer {
background-color:#edecec;
clear:both;
padding:0;
margin:0;
width:778px;
height:30px;
overflow:hidden;
}
#footer-block-one {
float:left;
background-color:#999;
margin:0;
width:100px;
height:30px;
}
#footer-block-two {
position:relative;
left:100px;
*left:-3px;
background-color:#ccc;
margin:0;
width:100px;
height:30px;
}
#footer-content {
position:relative;
top:-22px;
left:200px;
margin:0;
width:575px;
height:30px;
text-align:right;
font-size:9px;
}
Now the two things in question. First, to get the #footer-content DIV to
be aligned as I wanted I had to go to using top:-22px;, otherwise it
would fall below the other two DIV even when floated right. This was the
same for both Firefox and IE. Now in IE when I use the top:-22px, as
well as before using this, it adds a roughly 15px to the height of the
footer. To eliminate this I had to add overflow:hidden to the #footer
DIV. Any explanation, pointers, tips regarding these will be much
appreciated. Thanks!
