Footer not at bottom

Post by yorgi63 »

I have never run into this before but for some reason the footer floats above the bottom of the page. In other words the content area ends then we have the footer color and then there is some more content area and the the bottom under the footer.

Anyone run into this? I am using 1.2.3 "black rock".


All I want is to make sure the footer is all the way at the bottom. Help?

You haven't provided any info about the site, template, styles, etc. so it's hard to answer your question. If you post your template, or a link to the site, perhaps we could see what's happening.

I understand but I can't post a link because the person I am doing the site for may not want it up yet or have it searchable. I have place the items as asked below.

Thank you in advance!

Here is the template and the stylesheet:
