Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

I've got a problem with my footer and can't figure out how to fix. The footer does two different things.

1. On pages where info is relatively medium amount, footer leaves gap.

2. On pages where info is relatively medium amount, footer overlaps left-bar.

3. On pages where info is relatively large, footer overlaps bottom area of content (covering up info at bottom of STATIC page).

I have a repeating background (1000px x 1px) in content.
I have a fixed image for the footer.

Click on any page to see problem.

Code from AltSkin.css


#page-container {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px;
}

#content-container {
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 153px;
}

#content-container2 {
padding-bottom:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
}

#left-bar {
width: 170px;
margin: 120px 0px 0px 80px;
}

#center-main {
padding: 0px 80px 0px 80px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 200px;
}

#center {
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
}

#center-main h1 {

background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg.jpg) no-repeat top center;
}

#content-container {
padding-bottom: 0px;
margin-top: 153px;
}
make bottom padding equal to height of the footer...

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

Thanks Ashley, but I tried this and it did not work for the pages where there is very little content. I am working on a 21" monitor and when I maximize the browser window, the footer is locked at the bottom as it should be, but then there is large gap between between footer and content-container.

Do I need to define some container heights as 100% ?

Here are some links to pages with a 'gap' in the background.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

the footer has absolute positioning so I will be at the bottom.

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

yes, make content container 100%, try it. Not sure tho.

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

Thanks again Ashley, but that didn't work either.

I tried moving the background callout to the content-container2. That seems to work BUT, now I can't get it centered.

Check out results here, you will see background now extends all the way to footer on every page, without overlap, but it's stuck on the left side.

#content-container2 {
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
}



Any ideas on the centering?

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

put it back to the container and I'll take a look

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

Ok, I moved it back to where I had it originally:

http://67.20.92.91/store/cart.php

#center {
/* .menu-dialog .content a:link, .menu-dialog .content a:visited, .menu-dialog .content a:link { */
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
}


Still trying to try some things too, but so far, nothing has worked.

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

put this on content-container not content-container2

background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;

take it off center

Re: Footer Div overlapping Content Div
 

Thanks!!! That worked! I really appreciate your help on this and taking the time! All this time I've been putting it in the wrong container! So here is what worked, in case someone else needs help in the future:


#page-container {
margin: 0px auto;
width: 1000px;
}
#content-container {
padding-bottom: 152px;
margin-top: 153px;
height:100%;
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-repeat-center.png) repeat-y top center;
}
#content-container2 {
}

#left-bar {
width: 170px;
margin: 120px 0px 0px 80px;
}
#center-main {
padding: 0px 80px 0px 80px;
margin:0px 0px 0px 200px;
}
#center {
/* .menu-dialog .content a:link, .menu-dialog .content a:visited, .menu-dialog .content a:link { */
}

#center-main h1 {
color:#eb9b11;
}

#header {
border-top: 0px solid #516e99;
top: 0px;
height:223px;
width:1000px;
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg.jpg) no-repeat top center;
}
#footer {
background-color:#291f16;
width:1000px;
height: 154px;
background:url(images/fashion_mosaic/bg-footer.jpg) no-repeat center;
}
#header .line1 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 170px;
}
#header .line1 .logo {
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 31px;
height: 50px;
