A little css/structure help

hey everyone,

I’m in the process of coding up my second theme…and having a little stumbling block with the footer. Basically i have a sidebar and a main column structure…and the main column is absolutely positioned (due to the design of the theme).

The problem is the footer. I want it to sit underneath both the sidebar and main column (which ever is tallest)..but because my main content in positioned absolute when it is taller than the side bar the content overlaps.

You can see a demo here where i’ve demonstrated the problem. www.demo.adamrobinson.cc/wave

i know all about position:absolute being taken out the ‘flow’ but hope there’s a solution

You don’t need

position:absolute;

Hope that helps.

In my experiences, you can’t do much when it’s set to an absolute position. Why not float it then clear it in a div before your footer div?

No problems dude come back if you need more help.

better still… research and select a grid system (especially for fast, clean theme development where you dont need something specific for a development).. and utilize it’s framework to get the desired layout.. cross browser compatible, clean.. easy to modify.

FWIW
